i know it is tough to see but the resevoir is right behind the front bumper down at the bottom. I welded a plate on the AC to protect the resevoir. I ran the line up the right side. You can't see it anywhere. Just take the rezzy in your hand and run it up through the frame, above the plastic guard over the engine, and down past the steering stem. The line fits real nice between the gas tank and plastic shield all the way up to the stem. You will have to remove the stem to get it past and down to the front. I wish I had a picture of it before I finished.

Hey Honda, that looks like a real good place and offers easy access to the adjustment. I thought about doing that but wondered if it might make the oil run thin because of the heat. I thought rezzies were always to cool the oil not boil it.:D Na, how's it working?

Hah, With the line tucked up in the frame rails, and the wind blowing the eat towards the rear, I don't see any problems. It is in a really safe place right there, easy to adjust, and easy to clean the crud out of that spot. I wouldn't want it mounted in the front, blocks the radiator and it is already a S.O.B. to clean the mud out of there.

Next time you are out riding, put your hand there, see if it gets all warm and cozy! ;)

Nice but was your line only long enough to put it there or does it do a "U" turn somewhere? I looked where I should go but with all that line I figured what the hell.
