For those with these - can you hide the reservoirs in front of the side bags, behind the passenger floorboards? I like the idea of the shocks, but to me, they look like if surgeons offered an option to put artificial hips on the outside of their patients. I also have quick detatch stuff and don't want interference.
I don't have them, but you might be limited to the length of the external reservoir tube. Depending on which brand you are wanting, the OD of those cans vary by about a millimeter with Ohlins at 51mm.
There are some companies that make mounting brackets that make those cans less obtrusive.
EDIT: Looks like NoRegerts beat me too it!
Kraus makes a mount that lowers the reservoir a bit so it won't interfere with the TP.
Hofmann Designs makes clamps to mount to a 7/8" bar, like the saddlebag guard rails.
I didn't have this picture on hand right away. But here is my bike with the reservoirs mounted using the supplied Ohlins brackets and a sissy bar and rack on, just to show, they do not interfere.

I guess it depends on the fender rack. Many are mounted a bit closer to the fender. But I took the OP wanted something more out-of-sight.
The remote resivors on the CVO RG ST are tucked in between the bags and fender.
HD makes a kit that will move the OE resivior brackets slightly outwards to accommodate their line of detachable accessories.
If you put a detachable tour pac on the detachable hardware, the resivors would be barely visible from side or rear view..
