FZR 1000 Rear shock reservoir bottle

Post by Mr_Incredible »

Hi, I've just bought a H plate FZR 1000 EXUP which is a bit tired, while going over it I found that the rear shock bottle was just sitting on the engine, so two questions, where should it go. I know it should have a mount but that doesn't seem to be there so if someone can tell me or better still show me with a picture I'd be a very happy person. Secondly if you would like to make me even happier has someone got a mount/bracket with fittings they would like to sell me. Thanks

Here you are Mr I.

Welcome to the forum by the way. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Thx nuggit I'm currently watching that one, only problem is it doesn't have the rubber holder with it or bolt. And I don't know where it goes lol.

The bracket on the earlier R model bolts to the rear of an aluminium frame cross member below the battery box

Btw, there's a full workshop manual to download in the tech section on the main site :unibrow:

Not got the can fitted in its original position on mine as I'm running Ohlins shock but if you follow the black pipes near the chain in the pic below, there's the bracket sticking out from the cross brace just at the bottom of the inner rear plastic mud guard
Hope it helps
