On both the front & rear you'll need to adjust the mounting bracket slightly, front reservoir bracket you'll need to bend at 90 degrees and shorten several holes, rear you'll need to shorten the mounting strap slightly. Tools needed- vice & dremel :thumbup


I have the medium front & small rear on my 02 R1, reservoir tubing is HRC, that dresses them up nicely too :secret:

That?s exactly what I intent to do, but wasn?t too sure on volume sizes as Rizoma give different sizes. Now all is left for me to do is decide what I want (40mm or 50mm)

Thanks for the response mate, knew I came to the right place for helpful information.
Posted exact same thread on my local forum and have get to get a reply.

Thanks mate
