Who wants a reservoir sticking out in front of the  saddle bag looks like you could step on it    Billy

I'm not sure of your point.  Are you promoting these, just bringing them to our attention, or wondering if anybody has experience with them?

[Twolanerider]

It may be a great shock but form was totally discounted as any function was considered.  Can't imagine anyone happily mounting a reservoir that blocks the side cover, sticks out in plain view and may obstruct a BSR's leg.  Perhaps a rush to market with a simple and inelegant mount rather than spending more time and coming up with a way to do in a more acceptable fashion?

Sounds like a great idea to improve the rideability of the shocks. Looks like chit on a white rag. Let me know when you see a set on a scooter......prob never!!!

Nothing new here, remote reservoir shocks have been around on sport bikes for decades.  The only thing new with this product is the p-poor decision to hang the reservoir where they did so they could claim easy adjustability.  Others offer shocks with reservoirs for Harley baggers, the difference is they tend to be attached to the actual shock and don't hang out past the bags.  So accessing the reservoir might take about ten seconds more because the bag has to be tilted out or removed.  Big deal; 99.9% of riders don't constantly adjust shock damping for every tiny difference in terrain or load.

C'mon guys it's barely noticeable...

I am sure they are a good shock, they do not look bad.  However I would never add bag guards to a bike so I could add shocks.

Well.........OK,  but if you did add them,  then the rear bags that attach to the rear guards...(which are absolutely great for a bag of tools and other small items) would indeed mask off that shock attachment.

Drill a hole into your saddlebag and store the reservoir there.
idea is okay, but design is very poor. you should always
let italians do the design, look at their cars, women ........
