February 5, 200917 yr 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 ?. Edited February 5, 200917 yr by ishy
February 5, 200917 yr CO2 Bottle it looks like, could also be a hip flask for an after section tipple.
February 5, 200917 yr Could be a boost bottle but only ever really seen them on twin shock motocross bikes.
February 5, 200917 yr Could be a boost bottle but only ever really seen them on twin shock motocross bikes. Too far from the carb to be a boost bottle. And I don't think those work so well on a four stroke...
February 6, 200917 yr 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 MR4T Edited February 8, 200917 yr by BillyT
