Default favourite place for mounting a shock reservoir?

Anyone one here got a shock with a remote reservoir for their road bike? Just wondering where you have it mounted and if you've just lashed it on or have a mounting bracket.

Depends on the model of SV. Which one have you got?

I had mine mounted just behind the shock and cable tied to the stock undertray through a couple of holes I drilled. Didn't make sense to me to have it on display where some little chodder could mess with it.

It's mounted in the same place on my S4 now too.

One of the handle things that is just underneath the tail piece (curvy). Ohlins came with mounting blocks and two stainless jubilee clips, though vibration did for one so using a cable tie

i've got a curvy one.

Did see that the ohlins came with a nice little bracket, but not sure I can stretch funds to one of them. Still tending towards a nitron.

cheers for the tips folks

In that case as Johnny_Rod says, most fix to the bungy rails under the pillion area of the tailpiece.
