Title: More choices for fluid reservoirs
Post by: Nomad on November 17, 2011, 08:15:37 AM
Finally some choices out there other than Rizoma.  I have to admit, I still like the look of the Rizomas better, but I know some people out there would like something a little different.

i'm with you on that... i'm a bit anal about making sure the brake fluid isnt too dirty and the metal ones make that hard to tell.

Seems to me that the inspection window on the resevoir is sufficient to veiew fluid level and how clean the fluid is.

Using a piece of clear hose between the reservoir and the master is also a good trick.

never thought of that... but then again, right now no plans for changing reservoirs.

BTW, no need for clamps on these hoses. Plastic wire ties work just fine.
For a cool look, use red, white & green ties.  [thumbsup]

I know clutch fluid discolors... but i've never seen break fluid discolor (get dirty)...
