I am purchasing a 14.5" shock from a fellow member so I need the mount to go with it since I have the 16.5" version. Does anyone have pictures of both mounts or know how to tell them apart? I don't want to waste my money on the wrong mount! Thanks! |

Here's a picture that I copied from an old thread showing the difference in the two mounts.
![brackets](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/47623/431046.jpg) The late mount is for the short 14.x" shock and the early mount is for the long 16.x" shock. |

OK Buell parts manual. 2000-2001 M2 & M2L. Page 55 #7 Bracket K0407.8h 2000-M2. Page 57 #9 Bracket K0407.01A1 2001-M2. The later brkt. has an extra bolt hole but looks the same. The shock on the 2001 M2 and M2L have different numbers. Anymore questions and I will look it up. |

Oh and also I think if you have a good early shock and use the late bracket it should lower the rear end |
