Title: hard to find part???
Post by: K2perv on June 27, 2005, 05:02:17 am

greetings!  i bought my 98 proflex 5000 new and am now giving her a well deserved rebuild...  K2 says that the pivot face inserts and pivot axles for the swingarm pivot are no longer available.  this sucks!  anyone out there know where i might find these parts???  thanks in advance!

[K2 part #s:  pivot face inserts (15064), left (15708) & right (15709) pivot axles]

If the pivot face inserts (15064) are ok leave them alone,(they only wearout or get damaged if the pivot axles have been allowed to turn within them)other wise its a trip to your local precsion engineering shop to have some made up (you'll need to take the old ones as a pattern),same also for the axles 15709 & 15708,though I think I've a spare set of these plus bushes I might be able to help you out with but I am UK based,

thanks for the info, simon!  they look a bit worn but i'll rebuild with these parts and use them until they fall apart.
thanks also for the offer on the parts...  i may come begging for them after this summer's ride season!
