Hi,

Believe it or not, it's on the right hand side of the bike next to the ECU under the main seat.

yea i know whereabouts it goes, but ive not replaced the hose etc and the only mounting holes close to it, when i attach the res, it fouls the seat itself.

it should sho you in the manual mate if you aint sorted by tonight i'll whip the panel off and take a photo.

if in doubt, cut the hose about 5 inches above the mc. plug with suitable bolt and clamp.
just make sure you leave about 3 inches clear in the tube.
sorted! now think of that weight saving

thats how mine was on the gixer originally when i bought it.

its all you need init
a clear tube, hrc style, is ideal like yours there baz.
i had to much fluid in mine when i first did it. locked the back wheel up!

10g.. it all adds up!
also, you dont get the fluid slosh around the resevoir ruining the knife edge handling
