I managed to get a brand spanking new recall shock kit for an M2 off of e-bay
for about 1/2 what new costs

it looks the same as my original one '01 - x1 showa

is there any difference in the unit?

I will adjust the ride height and preload
this week ( I hope ) and be done with it

any info about variants of the kits would I would be grateful.

as long as you have the new mounts with it, there will be no problems and it will bolt right up.

Is the rear mount on the shock a small or large diameter?

OldDog,
IIRC the lengths of the shocks were the major difference. Hence why you needed a new front mount to make the 14.5 in Showa fit the pre 2001 bikes

Again, with the new mount it should bolt right up

Oldog,
Go to the "Service Bulletin, Upgrades and Recalls" section. I think you will find pics and info. that will help you out.
