I picked up my 5500? at the weekend & it has a 2008 Fox RP23 on it. I'll post photos of the mounts later, but am happy to trial your mount Callum.

callum, when i sold u the frame and sent you the x-fusion shock did i leave the bushes in the shock?  if i did it was me that turned them! know of any turning jobs going   ;)

the bushes weren't in there!  that's why I made some!!  if you have access to cnc, then get in touch.  The raw prices were over 20 GBP (about 35 US dollars) per bushing set so it is still too expensive to sell - no ones going to pay that plus shipping for a tiny bushing set.  I'm considering getting some specifically tuned RP23's and then throwing the bolts in.  However, that will come when I've done the x57 RP23 kit.

you can always email the pics to me and I'll put them up.  keen to work out whether the bushings where off the shelf or self made for your shock mounting!
