BTW, he's talking about the reservoir for the Works aftermarket shock....He forgets things sometimes.

Also, pics are a plus for him. He's always tried to put the square in the circle since he was a small child.

Use big C clamps to mount it on the front of the leftside frame downtube. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Why do both the aftermarket shock makers use such a long hose to the reservoir? If you order new, can you spec stock length line to the reservoir?

I take it the xtra length is for more oil capacity?.

Be careful on those Works shocks. Cover the braided oil line so it doesn't grind into your aluminum engine. I used a split line of Poly-Flo hose.

Mine also "squeaks" if you don't lubricate the spring ends.

I put mine further forward on the bar which goes up an forward. Easier to reach, while on the bike. Penske has a control knob which requires no tools.
