Kenevo Gen1 Fox X2 fitting

[JMP85]

Hi all, just received my X2 and attempted a test fit to my Kenevo expert 2021 S3. Couple of questions.

Does anyone know what spacers/bushing I need for the top eyelet?

Also on full compression it is touching the frame. I have heard of people fitting a 1mm spacer. Any details on where to buy and how to fit?

Finally, I assume it is just the flip chip on the lower eye (same as the Rockshox)?
Thanks all.

For the first question you need this: Fox Rear Shock Mount Hardware M6 x 20.00mm

Thanks. I will order now.

Just the 1mm spacer info you find now. I’m sure I seen it on here somewhere but I’ve been searching and can’t find any details.

The shock will work upside down, but will it fit without fouling the frame?

Something like this m6 nylon washer? It’s 1mm thick.

I used some stock fox bushings and the stock shocks bolt and spacers. Spacers needed sanded down to fit

It’s more so the fouling the frame issue I’m needing help with.

Answer on the last question: yes, there is only a flip chip in the eyelet towards the rear of the frame ...

On which part it is hitting the frame? Any picture?

Air can with rebound knob on the flip chip side.

Then remove the water bottle or use smaller one ...
But you said it is touching the frame on full compression ...?

I have fitted different size spacers either side of the bushing. It’s moved the shock 1mm away from the frame and seems to have really helped. Guess I will just need to try it.

I’ve added photos Incase someone else has the same issues.

Oh, yes ... it seems there is no other option than this what you did ...
