Not sure but from looking at the picture I'd say what it sounds like your asking for it built into the shock, so you'll probably need a new shock or an old one and have it rebuilt. Either way I would give K2 a call. Good luck.

i think you are referring to a previous post that showed an adapter to fit a fox shock to your type of bike.
that was a custom made adapter that the owner had a machinist friend make it for him.
there is no website or place to buy such an adapter.
you can check risse.com or stratos.com. they are the only companies that might make a bolt-on shock for your bike.

I'm still waiting to see a picture of that adapter.
Can someone please post?

That would be Guido.  You can see his work under some posts in the "Files" section to the left, or possibly in his gallery.  I was just in contact with him and he says the Rock Shock coilover is working out very well!  I will email him tonite to see if he'd chime in to the discussion.

Check out this one too.
It's crude, but you can see where the mounting points are and how the eyelet orientation should be.
