rear shock help

[arsenic]

Anyone with a Katana 1100, where does the remote reservoir mount? I have a pre 98 600, but I'm installing a GSXR rear shock. I'm going to order the clamp for the Katana 1100 remote reservoir, but I'm not sure where it mounts, thanks for your comments in advance.

you can just buy a hose clamp at any auto parts store or at home depot down the faucet repair aisle. And just strap it to the rear subframe. just make sure you put it somewhere away from moving parts and heat.

yeah I know, thank you.

That's what most people do . I strapped mine there with wire ties .

[arsenic]

when you say rear subframe, what exactly do you mean?

[BarMatt80]

the part of the bike that the rear plastics cover, the part that the seat goes over.

When I put an RF900 shock on my pre-98 600 I also strapped it to the subframe with a few hose clamps.

Odd thing:
On my pre 98 there is a bracket under the seat that looks perfect for holding the res.. Right size/shape and has room for a hose clamp. BUT:
a. You couldn't access the damper screw.
b. The fairing would hit it.

Odd..

I like to change it out. It's Gunni now but I revert to Shiner too

Ummm no..
It's not on the fiche.. It is on the left side (sitting on the bike) it sits at an angle (pointing to the rear) and it is flat and curved. It is welded to the underside of the subframe rail
