On the side of the frame right behind the radiator is the next location I am doing.

Thank you Tony on the quick reply. Can you take a picture of the oil going over the radiator. Did you cut the shrouds ?

Mark Myers sent me this pic to show where he wanted the rezi's located. I was just showing a location. I have also seen them going straight back towards the motor. I will make an effort to make them fit either way when in the programing stage.

My oil lines can go over the radiator but they are short and be rubbing on the radiator hose. I thought about before the radiator by the steering stem. Just looking at my options Thank you  Paul

To run the rezi back of the radiator do you have a longer oil line .

If you don't need to adjust them while you are riding....I would say in front of any heat source. Radiator, Exhaust, Motor,....Fronts right? If you don't have long lines , frame tubes in front of the radiator are best....or(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/172_2480_2017-04-18_9984.jpg)

That photo was actually the rear shock rezzy, not the front. It's located there per Elka instruction.
