i used the big gray cable ties for mine, to be honest it bugged me at first but they are not something you would notice unless you are looking for them.
And the bobbin bracket i really couldnt get to fit without alot of bending, so i thought the other way would be easier ![]() |

Yeah the bracket is designed to be bent into shape.

Duct tape. Seriously. Black duct tape on the inside of the swingarm to affix the tube along the length of it (tube coming from near the front sprocket after being routed past the battery and into the rear pillion underseat storage area) then positioned to drip correctly.
In 12+ months of having it like this, I've had to redo it once because when cleaning the bike I took off some of the duct tape holding it on by mistake. Having ridden through some horrendous downpours both in the UK and abroad it's never become "unsticky" even if duct tape is only meant to be water resistant and not completely waterproof. Always carry duct tape (plus cable ties etc) with me, so could reaffix if it ever did come off. |

Here's mine...
A couple of pictures of the bottle under the seat. Not bothering to show how I got the wire to the front of the bike to attach to the engine as that's the same on everyone's I'm guessing. ![]() ![]() ![]() From there it goes out of the pillion area and down towards the battery on the offside. The bit I mean is at the top of the picture, ignore the tubing on the right of the picture, that's the extra bit of the tube that I didn't cut down to size so wrapped it around the pillion area. ![]() Then to the front of the battery and down underneath and pulled through to the nearside. This is hidden in the end by the black covers under the seat when it's all put back together. ![]() ![]() Down the inside duct taped to the inside of the frame. Goes down to the middle of the front sprocket then is pulled inwards towards the centre of the bike where it attaches to the outside of the swingarm before finally being pulled inwards again to get it inside of the swingarm so it's hidden from view. Removed the footpeg and gear lever to show this one. Remember to leave enough "slack" in the tubing to allow the swingarm to move freely with the suspension. ![]() Inside the swingarm for the next picture to follow along from the previous picture Duct tape is great. ![]() The dispenser in place After a long time spent cleaning the swingarm and frame so we have a decent surface to attach all this duct tape to it's finally finished and in place. Tweak position as necessary. ![]() One final picture (before I put the seat and little panels on) showing the footpeg and gear lever in place All you can see of the installation is the little bit of tubing which snakes around the swingarm. I couldn't figure out a "cleaner" way without it getting too close for comfort to the chain etc. So am happy with this. ![]() p.s. ignore the dirt, I like to ride my bike not clean it ![]() |
