I ordered a Penske 8983 and it arrived today. I got it mounted, but there doesn't seem to be a good place to put the remote reservoir. The 90 degree fitting for the hose makes it such that it cannot go in the storage area under the seat, and unlike this Ohlins install (http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/at...-fazer-before-last-step-mono-ohlins-46hrc.jpg) I have the helmet lock in the way. The exhaust interferes with routing the reservoir to the rider's right side.
I ended up cutting two slots in the under seat plastic to route a hose clamp, and using one of the rubber isolators included in the kit, I was able to secure it under the storage area. However, this puts the adjuster on the reservoir right next to the frame. To keep it from touching, I used a second rubber isolator, but without a hose clamp. I have less confidence in this side, but at least the adjuster is not touching the frame.
Anyone have a more elegant solution?
