Title: rear shock reservoir bracket
Post by: COP TZR on January 23, 2013, 07:14:37 AM
Hey all.  I'm trying to find this reservoir bracket for the rear shock that came on the early '98 ~ '99 Monster 900 "S".  I haven't had any luck here in Canada.  Any luck south of the border?
part# 82912501A.  its number 15 in the picture.  I would like to mount my Ohlins here.

I'm not a fan of the typical mounting on the frame above the clutch cover.  I would prefer either like the pic below, or on the right sd. frame rail beneath the seat.  Not sure if the Ohlins hose is long enough for that.

No, I've checked with Pro Italia.   I'll call Omaha to see.

AFAIK, dealers can access a nationwide database to see if any dealer has one on the shelf.

The local dealers here are kind of lazy and wont go the extra mile.

Mine is on in that location using the rubbers that came with the kit and a couple of thin hose clamps.

Thanks howie.  Is there decent amount of clearance from the braided line and shock spring?

Wow, the hose looks close to the spring in the photos.  It isn't.  About 8 years on the installation.  No rubbing.
