So....one thing I think about...does the external reservoir interfere with saddlebags being installed, or if you turn them the other way do they interfere with a passengers legs?

No problem with my saddlebags when I installed the Ohlins 36PRCLB shocks. No complaints from passenger- in fact, just exclaimations about what a difference in the ride quality they make. Jay

Jay, a crumby 100 or so posts since 2006? What, do you have a job or something? When you can find the time (which you will have plenty of since I see it is snowing in Chicago) please call and I should be available after noon (maybe I will be drinking Mia-ti's and Pina Coladas & "hoping to get caught in the rain") as it is 90+ degrees at the Chickee Hut Dock Side Bar so please give me a ring. Man, Jay you got it good up there, your not even sweating your Azz of!! Global Warming at its finest.

No, they don't in interfere with my bag setup (Easy Brackets and detachable hrdware for sissy bar). Yes, they did interfere with the passenger pegs with rezzi pointed forward (stock passenger pegs).

Commute test ride--defiinatly smoothed out the one section of highway that is concrete and has the wash board effect. The best money I've spent on the bike to date, except for the down payment! Thank you again Howard!
