Default Remote reservoir Ohlins mounting...

Can't believe anyone would hose clamp a resmote resi to their frame, so I had a few of these made up:

Finally a solution for those stupid rubber snubbers and hose clamps. Why some other shop hasn't done this before, I have NO idea.... Couldn't stand hose clamps on my bike (and it's not a 100K build or a movie bike, etc).

Billet aluminum, stainless fasteners. Holds the reservoir securly to the frame while looking the part. Doesn't stick out any further than the rad on the s4r bikes, and will fit anywhere on a ducati frame. Matter o fact, I'll be using this on my SBK build as it's got the ohlins remote resi on it as well.

Anyway, I've got 8 extra "sets", which I'll take $100 shipped for (per set) in the US. Ano will be a touch more, but not available until after the 1st....

Nicely done and it does look much better then the hose clamp approach.....but I need to ask the question....why there? The heat from the motor is going to cook that thing big time! It needs to be mounted on the left side rear of the bike. The hose comes out the back of the shock then wraps (once loosly) around the front of the shock to come out on the left side? Just my

I wouldn't figure hanging out in the breeze next to the airbox was going to overheaet it, but I kinda just tossed it on the bike to make sure it would fit (shock too), and thats where it ended up. I'll probably end up with it somewhere on the subframe, although it'd be a lot closer to the exhaust back there.
