is your shock put on with the hose coming off the front or rear?

you attached the reservoir to the tubes near the battery?

Hose to front and it is on the tube heading up alongside the cylinders to the steering head.L/S.Right next to my Banke frame brace.

Dan, not the best pic but you can see the reservoir below my left knee on (I believe) the same frame rail Firemanjim described. That's a Works Perf, not a Penske, but they both use a similar reservoir plumbed off the front of the shock body.

thanks, I got it mounted last night as you have it pictured, except my resevoir is turned around.

I am considering switching out lines and using different elbows someday because it seems the routing is a bit sloppy but I'm just going to ride it for a while first.

I appreciate the help.

Dan
