Yep remote reservoir is the way on XT`s as there's no room for the can hanging off the side, those shocks were on a DR650 project bike.
One my latest 34L projects (slow one) one of the bikes came with an Ohlins shock (was used in desert racing) with remote reservoir clamped to the frame.
Standard shock next to the Ohlins.
Mezo, and thanks for the compliment, dunno about "hero" but hopefully an inspiration for others to have a go at restoring.
