Got a 99 M2 tat has a strut installed. The guy I got it from gave me the shock that came off the bike. Of course I would like to lose the strut and put the shock on but it does not have a reservoir or even a place to connect the reservoir. Anyone familiar with this model shock?

It is the old style shock and the upgrade has the reservoir. As long as it does not leak it may still be OK and still work. Good luck.

Thanks. Do you know if a shock from a 2003 XB9r would fit the M2?

Ken,
It's a completely different design. Watch the classifieds here for one, or I do have a spare, but it'll need to be rebuit and I honestly do not know if it's possible to do.

I'll do some digging...

Yeah I realized that after doing some more reading. A local guy has the 03 XB shockj for $ 70 if anyone is interested.
