Hard tail xs650, with exhaust running next to the lower rails. It has a rear disc brake and I'm having some trouble trying to positing the MC. I can't put it in between the exhaust and frame so its got to be below or above the lower rail. Ive assumed putting it under the bike is a bad idea due to the brake line becoming damaged or the MC becoming damage from debri on the road and what not. If that isn't a concern (someones done it and had no issues) that would really be helpful in mounting options.

Ive attached an image of how I can mount it successfully I think. However I was wondering if it would be ok to shorten the rod pretty much completely to the MC as I don't have a lot of space. Also if it is too close to the exhaust and the plastic to the reservoir would melt. Any other suggestions on mounting are welcome too!
