  1. I used my Pitbull triple tree stand and R6 pin for it; worked perfectly.
  2. Thanks. I used both rubber thingies but also used 3 zip ties. Again, I'll leave it until I have a chance to get out and test it.
  3. doc - Did you use both rubber bumper things or just one?
  4. Yes doc, I was referring to your pic. I used zip ties, more as a temporary measure, until I can get some ride time in to see if the reservoir will be stable there. Though so far it's stayed rock solid in the garage (can't ride in Wisconsin now). I like your idea of getting a longer hose when I get the shock serviced, will keep that in my back pocket. Funny, I also have the Battery Tender pigtail zip tied in the exact same spot as well.
  5. I also did this over the holidays. This was a great thread to get me started, but even at that getting at the lower shock bolt as well as the dogbone had me scratching my head quite a bit. Wound up buying a metric set of crows feet (I never mind buying more tools) to get the job done. It's so curious that Yamaha mad a hole to access one side of the dogbone but not the other. I take the shock out of my GSX-R every year for a rebuild and that's a simple process, well except for having to remove the tank which I did to the FJ-09 too (not removed, just pivoted forward). And I have the service manual which wasn't any help. All it said was to remove the upper and lower shock bolts. Great, thanks... I'm not totally happy with how I mounted the reservoir (it's identical to the last pic someone posted), but it's the only place it will fit. If I were to do it over, I might think about ordering a longer hose between the shock and reservoir.
