Yeah, Brembo is known for heavy parts.  :)

Brembo is stock on mine, but the Aluminum mount that I have is much thinner. This thing looks cool, but as I see it, it's probably heavier. Sure, maybe it's only a couple of ounces, but it all adds up. Look at the people that put Ti bolts on their bike...

My RCS masters don't have a provision for the stock mounts   [cheeky]

I guess you will have to get someone to weigh them.

I've seen those Brembo mounting arms in all different colors on eBay for less than $10.

It's not billet, it's cheap ALU alloy. Same kind of alloy that fake carabiners and bottle openers are made out of, and I doubt if it's real Brembo. Probably weighs very little to be honest due to its low-density metallurgy and would do the job neatly but I like TAftonomos' solution better.

pretty nice...
but when i read an ebay sellers description that has similar grammar to a Nigerian lawyer, i get a little nervous.
and yeah, i realize that english is not their native language.

I'm going to order a few of the wire ones that are pictured [thumbsup]

They are $35 + shipping, but if you get in on the first order, the shipping will be free. [drink]

Why not put the $35 back in your pocket, and grab a coat hanger, some needle nose pliers and a hammer?   :)

$5 later, home made fairing stablizer.  I am sure you can do the same with the wire reservoir holder.

LOOK at the pic, it isn't wire.

But alas, I have something even better.  Some .095" Ti welding rod I've got laying around.  Just need to bend a loop on one end, fuse it, bend/cut/loop the other end.  FREEBIE - zip zero nada.
