Have one. Need to find stock mount for my M2 before taking it off. If you can be patient I'll be taking this one off next week, doing a shock swap and waiting for new shock to arrive.

Midknyte, ride everyday, live in Az going back to stock height 'cause I tend to drag boot sole through turns. You have to remind yourself to be careful w/speed bumps and dropoff with curbs etc. but no bottoming out haven't scratched bottom of shock but did grind through one muffler clamp screw while riding Charleston Rd between Tombstone & Sierra Vista. Maybe a little more preload?

Has anyone used the M2 L mount on an X1/S3?

Found one locally on Craig's List.

Quick question, Did Westec have problems with the aluminum lowering mount?? I see in the link above they state it is made of steel. I have an aluminum one I plan on using on my build and just need to know, Thanks for your thoughts, Chuck.

I have an S2-T that I would like to lower 1.5-2 inches. I measured the shock a while ago; if I remember correctly, it was approx 16.5 inches eye to eye installed. I gather there are several front shock mounts that may "push" the shock back toward the swingarm, thus lowering the rear of the bike. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

So. Here's what I'm learning.

The west Tek mount was for the older, longer shock. I'm pretty sure that I have the newer, shorter shock (2002 with all recalls done), so essentially I already have an equivalent mount.

Carry on. I'm not looking for this anymore.
