2nd gen rear shock question

[Venturous Randy]

Has anyone looked at whether it would be feasible to modify a 1st gen shock/mount to be usable on a 2nd gen? Evidently Yamaha did pretty good on the 1st gen shocks as I don't remember hearing any failures and they are priced cheap on ebay.

This looks like it would be a good project for Dingy since he don't have much going on and he does have a 1st/2nd gen hybrid.

Looked at doing this on Hybrid, but gave up on idea. 1st gen shock is longer and mounting differences were an obstacle.
