If the Bitubo shock doesn't come with mounting brackets, you can easily pick up the rubber cradles for the reservoir online and use large hose clips to hold everything in place.

Originally I had the remote canister for my Ohlins shock on the frame but never did like it there, then I saw the OEM location on M900S which places it on a plate behind the shock - just in front of the hoop and so made up a plate to mount it there.
The hose is a little on the long side (compared to the OEM Ohlins) but it looks so much better tucked away.

Need to be careful if adjusting when the exhaust is hot though....
