Try NoleenJ6 or Risse Racing for shock. Try Iron Horse for swingarm pivot bearings. The rest is elementary.

If you strike out, let us know with details and pictures. I like projects like this.

Good Luck and report back often!

K2 spun off the bike parts division to Iron Horse. So for whatever parts are left, Iron Horse now handles them.

nice one mate cheers, have sent them an e-mail so will see what happens, think i will take the frame to the powder coaters next week, you guys think that standard coulours should be done or should i go with something new?

I would seriously nail down the pivot bearings and shock before going forth with painting the frame.I would guess that the bearings can be found locally, and the shaft can be made from bar stock, but the shock is a tough one. I do think you could jury rig an cross adapter and use a stout air shock

iv got a shock so just need to get hold of pivot, iron horse have replies asking for the year of the frame so if anyone knows what year the frames were produced that would help
