Hi Bill,
Yes, the shock and a 1 1/8" headset are included.
If you want to use a 1" threaded fork, you'll need a headset reducer set, as shown here:

Plus a 1" threaded headset.
I'll be building up a V2K frame shortly to document what's included and what you might need, depending on the component donor bike or parts group you select.
Best,
Doug
