Oi oi.
What are my options on where to hang this? All I can think off is to drill into the undertray and cable tie it on.

Anyone got a better idea?
Excuse the dirt lol
Thanks

Can you not put it in the standard place?
Is the hose long enough?

Where's the standard place? The shock I took off didn't have a reservoir so I'm not too sure where its even meant to go. Cheers Kris.

On the right side of the subframe are two threaded bolts for the rear pillion footpeg brackets, you need s remote bracket that fits onto those threaded bolts. It fits just under the subframe and overflow tank.

Geoff33 will have a bracket!

Ah right, thanks for that. The hose is no where near long enough to reach those bolts. :(

In the pic it's very close to where it should be, you might need to loosen the banjo bolt on the remote and turn the remote 180degrees to give you the length!

I wasn't sure what to expect if I loosened the banjo. I'll give that a try and let you know if its long enough.

Just loosen v.gently and turn it where needed it might have a fine jet of oil but it won't put air in the system. Hopefully!

I've managed to turn the reservoir around to reach the threaded bolts not without sacrificing quite a bit of oil. What are the consequences of this :?:

How much oil did you loose ? Didn't slightly loosen the the bolt spin the remote and nip the bolt up again?
