I recently bought a kona stinky deelux, and was told it was possibly the 2005 stinky deelux, but it doesnt matchup to the 2005 on the klassickona site. I wanted to know if anyone could help me identify the bike i have.
Also, i bought a fox dhx 4.0 shock but it is a tiny bit too long to fit on my stinky. So i was thinking maybe if i can get a different set of the triangle pieces that the shock and rear of the frame connect to the the seat post tubing, i might be able to use the dhx 4.0... Any suggestions on a solution to this would be awesome.. Thanks for any input.

Might be a 2004 Stinky. The Vanilla R was used that year in the Stinky. Does the fork happen to be a Drop-Off?

yeah it looks identical to my buddies orange/black 04 stinky

could also be a Kona stinky primo 2004

i have a feeling most of them are the same, with different builds?


I would also highly recommend getting the correct length shock... screwing around with the rocker plates will mess with alot of the geometry

Yup, it's a Stinky of some flavor.

you generally don't go swapping frame and linkage pieces to make a shock fit, common practice is to buy the correct length shock for the frame
