Gentleman,
I just ordered Ohlins #6 from Howard and was wondering is any one had taken any photos of their install. I have added the lower fairing speakers so have the two rear saddle bag amps and all the associated wiring and wondered where everyone was mounting the remote reservoirs for the shocks. Also, any real challenges or look changes going from a 12in to 13 1/4 shock? Thank you in advance.

7-30 Update
Well good news and bad news. I had no issue on the left hand side of the bike mounting the remote reservoir as to not interfere with anything. The right side is a completely different story. Since I added the liquid cooled lower fairing speaker kit another amp went in the right side saddle bag. Along with that came the relocation of the stock deutsch connector and the addition of two more deutsch connectors. I could not go to the rear of the bike with the reservoir due to interference with connectors or the front due to interference with either the harnesses or the side cover. The install would take some serious custom bracket work to keep the reservoir hidden or a bracket like bigbearchoppers offers that displays the reservoir. If you could get the reservoirs in in black anodized I could see going that direction, but I don't think that would look really good displaying the gold anodized reservoirs and hose against the carbon crystal paint. Thanks for the suggestions!

Street glide mounting required a little grinding to remove the cb mount.   Height of the reservoir matters if you have the rear antenna mount.

The height matters as the hose could rub if to low/tight.
