The front shock mount makes the difference ,not the shock itself!

From what I was told, the front mount bracket part # is the same for an X1 and an M2L. That I needed the shock to lower the bike. I guess I'm gonna have to research this further. Thanks for the help.

There are two different front shock mounts for the tubers. One mount is for the 16" and the other is for the 14" style shocks. Changing the mount will not change your seat height. You can't interchange them to change your height. If you want to change your height you need the M2L shock.

The M2L (low) model had different forks and sidestand too. Easiest was to lower an M2 is to sell it and buy an M2L!

Pardon me, didn't notice you have an X1. In that case, find an M2L owner that wants to sit higher or a cheap M2L.
