So strolling the ebay shopping for a shock for my x1 and I notice there's a few out there of the s2/s3, which - correct me if I'm wrong - is the 14" length shock. My x1 has the 16" shock I believe and the thought came to mind that if I could hunt down the right bracket I could make one of these work? If so anyone got a good idea where I could find one?

Yes you need the small shock bracket to go with it and it should work

Ok yeah that's what I figured.. I would think there would be a ton of them layin' around from people swapping to the bigger shock. Anyone on the board got any spare ones they're willing to part with?

The short shock was the final update to the design and the final recall version.

So a stock S2 would never have a short shock, neither would an S3, M2 or X1 until the later 2001 models and I believe all 2002's...UNLESS the older models had the recall performed to update it to the final version, the shorty.

I have a short bracket I may be willing to sell. I Also have a brand new 14" shock for sale as well.

Excellent thanks for the information guys! A 16-incher just got listed the other day so I might try to go for that one first, unless it would be unwise to get another 16-inch and have it fail very soon.. So I guess next question; are the two different lengths apples to oranges in quality/longevity or pretty much the same tier?
