I had posted something awhile ago about the Rizoma brake resevoirs. Here is some pics of them installed. The quality is excellent, and they really clean up the bike by taking that plastic crap off. Front and back. The are billet aluminum and avaiable in several colors. I am going to replace the front one with the black, and maybe do the red anodized in the rear. I think they look hot!

Pictures are real grainy, and don't do them justice. The rear in black looks like it should have been that way from the factory. The front cleans up the triple clamp and looks sweet in silver when the nuetral light hits it. It adds alot of guage visibility too. I may go with the black later, who knows.
I did have to mod the brackets, and in front use a longer feed hose, but it was so simple.

Took a long time to get them. I ended up getting them directly from the distibutor. Like I said, seems like a small detail but you would be shocked at how many other riders notice them right away and ask. So I guess the are alot of people who would like to see their plastic rsevoirs gone!

$30 for the rear, $60 for the front. Not too bad. Hooligan racing makes a junky one for the front that is known to leak, and its $119! Like I said they are kinda universal, so the front I had to bend the bracket 90 degrees in a vise, the cut it down. Back just lop an inch of the bracket. You really don't HAVE to, but it looks better. I was willing to pay though, really hated those plastic crappy things on my beautiful machine. I am thinking Black for the front now too!
