Tail swapped, now where does Reservoir go?

[lightningbolt]

I just put a S tail on my R and now am unsure on what to do with the rear brake reservoir and fluid line. The R had a long line and had the reservoir under seat. The S has a short line and I think its mounted behind right side heel guard. If so how and do I mount the reservoir and can I shorten the line by cutting it or do I have to buy a new one? ? ? Thanks for the help!

There are 2 tabs with a bolt hole thru them on the subframe support directly above the heel guard. There is a tab on the side of my reservoir. The tab on the reservoir goes between the 2 tabs on the subframe supports with a bolt going thru all three. If your reservoir doesn't have that tab, you might be able to go around it with some plumbers tape and bolt it in that way.

Plumbers tape is the stuff that holds up your water lines under your house with holes in it about every inch.

My S has the reservoir under the seat.

Nookie, where is it located under there?

it goes on the right side kinda near the hole where the fan will blow on your right leg. there is a screw hole for mounting. its just above the heel guard.

got it.
so opinions. . . would it be OK to cut fluid line to fit and what would be best way to deal with fluid in reservoir and line when doing so? and what size bolt fits in that whole in sub frame to mount?
