Re: more comfort in a hc???
Do you have a brace across your renthal bars? That will stop yours legs dipping in the bend of the bars, should make it a fair bit more comfortable if you don't currently have one.... can get a soft bar pad too for more comfort... and zip tie a cushion to it for ultimate comfort

Re: more comfort in a hc???
you can't let it dangle down like that. you have to overfill the resevour so there is no air in it, then put the cap on it tight. if you have it half-full then let it dangle the air bubbles will go right into the system.
i've always had mine mounted under my bars against the fork. never had an issue with it at all.

could have started your own thread but whatever.
That is not the correct hose. Any car parts store should have high temp hose.
