Aurora Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 What if the remote reservoir for a Penske shock is just place non secure under the seat? Right now the stock bungee straps holding it in place. Will the reservoir move around due to the hydraulic force of the shock compressing and extending? Thx, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 No, it shouldn't, but that's still a horrible thing to do to a nice piece of equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I used two hose clamps and clamped it on the outside of the sub-frame under the rear body cowl. Worked like a champ and holds it securely. Plus, I have no trouble reaching the compression damping adjuster knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, Bob No, it's absolutely fine - that's how I've got mine secured and no movement whatsoever. Why over-complicate things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Kind of looks like it was made for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toynut Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 You can probably get a couple of u-shaped rubber saddle mounts for the gas reservoir from a Penske distributor like Traxxion Dynamics. They will cradle the reservoir against any flat surface (i.e. the subframe), and you can then use a couple of hose clamps to lock them securely in place.

Thx, Bob Bob, Ive had my ohlins reserviors both under the seat the same way for some time, I have 2 straps going acrossed them, sure beats trying to hard mount them somewhere specially with luggage!

T REXX14 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I put minr under the seat like you did, except I took a piece of inner tube from a dirt bike (2.50/3.00) dia. and it fit perfect inside. Just to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
