Hi Devo, I've got an Ohlins on my '98 zx6r, it mounts using the bolts which secure the front of the tank and via a post to the right hand frame spar, I can take some photos tonight or over the weekend if you're interested.
Cheers
Matt

Came with the bike Owen, clearance for the post is no problem at the track at least, I also don't have the H bracket on, bike also came with a graves bracket which replaces it.MrWasabi wrote:where did you get the mount for that one?

already removed when you got there Owen.
Depends on your riding but moving them down is not that low compared to some of the new kit out there.
