    i got a fox shock on mine that I bought 17 years ago which has been rebuilt twice by them over the bikes history. I am sure some other people will pipe up with some ideas (jamie,) dont know about how he would ship it to your local though...

    Got any pictures? :worthless:

    Welcome aboard mate!

    Yes, I used a 929 and made a simple adapter from 2" square tube. Will try to find a link

    shock mounting is one of the subtle differences between 3rd and 4th gen. Clevis mount on the 4th gen lends itself to an easier shock mount modification.

    Here is how I made a 3rd gen mount
