I can't find one of the close up shots I have of my setup but mine came behind (inside) that crossbrace between and seat and downtube (behind the rocker plate), then straddles the swingarm beginning at the top of the main pivot... I'm sure you can search the pics in this forum. -bah!

Looks to me that they both would rub the frame with the suspension movement, but the red would rub on the inside where its less visable. I'd go with red, so long as its all clear from the rear wheel/tire.

Sometimes when I lean real hard on the right hand turn when I'm wearing one of 'em boxer briefs, I feel like my balls sag and rub the saddle the wrong way. BTW I don't ride an Mpire so I wouldn't know how to route the hose. :)


a-ha! found a pic of my routing...can't wait for the ride tomorrow..sleep sleep sleep!!

Are you a newbie...it's a Nicolai. We're not short of holes nowhere near around everywhere.

There's a hole and it's prolly for application such as routing. -bah
