When I fitted a remote reservoir shock on my S2R, the Öhlins recommended position for the reservoir was on the front right frame rail by the engine:



However, I didn't like the look of that so I cut a couple of small nicks out of the undertray beneath the seat to accommodate the hose and mounted it on the left rear subframe instead, which I thought looked much neater. If the Bitubo shock doesn't come with mounting brackets, you can easily pick up the rubber cradles for the reservoir online and use large hose clips to hold everything in place.
