Can anyone tell me if a XB9R Firebolt Rear Shock fit on the '00 M2 Cyclone? Some of them are for sale on ebay and they look like they will fit the 14' inches that I measured. My shock is leaking and I am pogosticking on every bump in the road.

Please advise.
I would like an alternative to paying $600-$700 for a new Works.

No.
Tubers use a pull/extension style,Xb's use the more common compression type.

Is this your shock for sale? If not would you buy this for the price?

I don't want to spend a lot of money, but if I am going to be in the same situation by next season with this one on ebay...then I might invest some money?

Pulled the trigger on a Works shock today.

Thanks for your help.

I figure keeping my ass off the pavement is worth the $600.

I have a Works on my S2, and love it. Better adjustments than stock, and....if it wears out...it's USER-rebuildable.

Good work on not cheaping out on the important stuff. You won't regret it.
