Rear Master Reservoir
« on: March 31, 2014, 08:38:28 AM »
I noticed my stock plastic reservoir was getting "bloated" and could use being replaced, so I looked around for some billet replacement options. There are some nice ones, but all of them are decently pricey. I noticed that carly sells a modquad one for a yfz, and would need a little modding, and then I stumbled upon this unit:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Universal-Motorcycle-Front-Brake-Clutch-Tank-Cylinder-Fluid-Oil-Reservoir-/151229934671?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item233601ac4f&vxp=mtr

Super cheap! It took about 3 weeks to arrive, but at that price, I couldn't afford not to give it a shot. I have a 2002 Lobo, no airbox, and my previous setup was an ESR brake rezzy bracket modified to fit the round tube, with a stock rezzy. Worked fine, but I always thought that setup could be improved...

So.... I mounted a small angle off from the lower silencer mount, and this unit bolts to the angle from the bottom. Cap screws on, and it appears to be a pretty nice billet part. However, I did take it all apart and seal all the threads to make sure I wouldn't have leaking issues. One other thing that wasn't super ideal, was the barb that comes off it is a little smaller than OEM, so I had to clamp the hose down pretty good. I don't foresee it being in issue, since its just a gravity feed reservoir.

Yeah, but its not a real SS hose, just a shortened OEM one with SS cover.
