I have seen a single gas bottle on mono's, and individual bottles on each shock on twin shockers, but never a single bottle on a twin shock, or does it have another purpose ?.

CO2 Bottle it looks like, could also be a hip flask for an after section tipple.

Could be a boost bottle but only ever really seen them on twin shock motocross bikes.
First rule to remember is, always treat your bike, like you treat your women. Get on her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.

Too far from the carb to be a boost bottle. And I don't think those work so well on a four stroke...

Hey guys.
It is an oil reservoir bottle.
It is used to cool down the oil/nitrogen in the rear shock.
They put it up front away from the engine heat, and also likely due to there being little room under
the seat etc.
There is probable another one on the other side of the down tube if it is a twin shock.
This is me MANY years ago. Notice the bottle above the foot peg?
Cheers BillyT

I am in a witness protection program.
They allow me out now and then to check up on you guys.
After all of the debacle over the Mikuni's leaking I had to hide
Mikuni set me up in nice house, a regular paycheck, and a bike to ride.
I can dream cant I?
Contact me on face book William Traynor.
Cheers mon ami.
