Show us yer FSR's

What year is the frame? I've got a NOS set of the metal bearing inserts, just not got the nylon bushes.

98 I think.

I've got the metal sections/pivots/whatever you want to call them if yours are damaged but it's more likely your nylon bushes have worn.

The components are in pretty good shape, just needs a refresh and a few upgrades where I can.
I have a Fox float R which I'm going to try and fit. I'll check the bushes and bearings when I strip it down.
Need to source some front forks, to replace the old Judy's, but hopefully it should be a nice ride when I finish.

Hey all, new to the forum, been interesting and very nostalgic having a look through all these builds, I’ve owned my FSR from new back in the 90’s, been neglected over the last couple of decades though and locked up in my dad’s garage. My kids have started taking more interest in cycling now so decided it’s time to give it some tlc and get it back to its former glory.

Bike isn’t stock due to theft of parts in the early 00’s whilst it was locked up outside my work but generally is in decent condition, I have noticed that the rear shock appears to have perished though and was wondering if anyone is aware of a bolt on replacement available now? From what I’ve been able to gain from the the forum and RS Monarch R might be suitable, happy to receive any opinions or advice though.
