Title: K2 Factory 6.0
Post by: scottminor on May 05, 2013, 01:30:16 pm

I just picked up a frame but it needs a shock.  Anyone know what dimensions and where I can get the shock mounting hardware?  I also think I need to replace the rear swing arm  bolts.  Where can we get parts like this?

If it was fitted with a Fox shock then I would contact a Fox suspension supplier for a bushing kit. I use Mojo suspension in UK but don't know where in USA.
Does that sofa come in any other colours, red is bit bright for me.

a great alternative IF you know the bolt size and mount 'span' measurements for the rear shock...they will work with you to get the correct sizes needed.  they also have the tool available to remove the bushings and replace w/ the bearings... I have a set in my 4500c. not only do they look great, the spacers come in different colors

Those sealed bearings look good but they're not cheap are they. The others are basic but maybe a little bit of stiction at the back end will reduce pedal bob on a single pivot?? Controversial ....
