For this install, another owner put the reservoir where the tool kit used to go and put the tool kit back by the brake lights. You'll have to take pretty much everything off the right side (rear brake reservoir and fuse box) in order to get it routed correctly, but it should fit well. Put a piece of clear plastic tubing around the SS line to prevent it from abrading anything.

Sometimes a little extra fabrication is called for. This Fox twin clicker was supposedly from a '95 GSXR 750. The owner found that it had some clearance problems. The upper shoulder of the shock was too wide and hit the Ninja's shock mount, preventing the upper mounting holes from lining up. It was determined that too much metal would have to be removed from the frame mount area, so some of the top of the shock had to be ground away.
