I got my new rear shock in and have a question. On the replacement shock there is an extra hose, where do you hang it? The old one lasted 90,000 miles I hope the new one does as good, wow are they proud of them $$$. Ride safe Rod

Your shock came with a gray plastic clip that sticks onto the frame right next to the negative battery terminal. Looking down on it, the clip just looks like a big O open on the top and bottom. The hose runs up the right side of the battery and the down-turned end goes into that gray clip.

I had to hang my hose where I did because of the placement of the aux fuse panel right behind the battery. It was much easier to hang it out the rear of the seat area.
