To be honest, at normal pace your not gonna feel a lot. If any difference it will come from the bleed on the brakes. You'll start seeing the most difference when you start getting aggressive with the brakes. You should have the same feel from beginning to end.

Hey no prob haha thats pretty much the same way I have spent all my money too...look at a pic and ooooo i like that bam money gone haha.

What kind of clear tube (dimmensions) do i need really? I think its a cool and rather cheap cosmetical mod for my R1 aswell :D
I went onto Motovationusa.com and typed in Brembo in the search bar and its the first selection to come up. 6mm clear tube sold by the foot. I bought 2 feet just to be safe but only needed one in the end.

geez that darn bracket costs almost as much as the resevoir! Why did you need the bracket exactly? is that just for the 09-11 or would I need it too do you think with an 07?

The set up you chose is perfect and the bracket I needed because the original mounting point tilted the reservoir too much and the metal bracket that comes with it is not adjustable like that one. Im pretty sure you will need it too so its better just to have it than have all that parts and have to wait for the bracket to come in to put everything together like I did lol

ok so i put together a package...
size 15 resevoir for the rear
size 27 resevoir for the front
1' of 6mm tubing w/ 2 clamps
bracket adapter
= $170

Fluid i found to be apparently illegal to use in street cars in Florida due to its "blue color"...umm ooook

Good thing this isn't for a car! haha

All from motovation...found they're al the same price on PJS as well

Anyone know a good promo code for motovation? lol

Hey Mav, can you explain exactly what you mean about the Fluid being blue in Florida??? There is no law about colors unless it refers to forward emitting light to include, Red, Green or Blue, those of which are illegal and an easy way to get stopped...
