That is awesome, I hate those things. What does it look like behind the cowl?

Very stealthy, aside from the clear hoses going down from the master cylinders to the rear of the lights, I be hard pressed to find them, hey that's got me thinking, aren't the master cylinders gravity fed? Won't work with the reservoir's sitting bellow the cylinders, IMO.... maybe I'm wrong?

Its a tight fit to get them back there and not have them hit the frame at full lock on left and right turns but I have them mounted low and up close to the headlight assembly. They fit just perfect. If you lookl at the last pic i posted you can see the reservoir in the little notch area between light and fender. I was gonna do the black hoses so you wouldn't even notice the lines but I went with clear just incase of any air bubbles. I dont know to explain it on here but it works and its safe.

Tried to make it easier to see. Hope this helps. I wish I would have taken photos before I put the front headlight assembly back on.

Ahhh there it is I felt like I was playing on of those games were you have to find the differences in the picture. I could not see where you were rendering to. By the way what master cylinders do you have?

I happen to like the reservoirs when you upgrade them to rizomas for example, like little extra pieces of detailing. Owever, that is a very cool setup. I'm also curious about the lack of gravity fed placement.

Yeah it was hard to see with all the shadow. They are the stock brembo masters. I had to replace the 90 degree inlet nipple with a straight one to make it look right.

Now just get rid of those mickey mouse looking mirrors to complete the look. I would suggest some crg arrows that would follow the lines of the bike better IMHO. Besides that, outstanding!
