Do You Like The Fluid Reservoirs?

[motomfg]

The Only Thing I Think On My Bike That Needs To Be Changed Are The Fluid Reservoirs. I Feel Like They Could Have A Cleaner Look.i Love Everything About The Bike But Those Reservoirs Are Way To High Up. It Would Not Effect The Brakes If They Were Lowerd Down About 1 Inch Would It? The Reason I Am Asking Is This Weekend I Am Going To Make Lower Ones. It Will Not Be A Hack Job Done On A Bandsaw. I Make Parts Everyday Out Of .09 Thick Aluminium On A Cnc Turret Punch And A Cnc Press Brake That Look Just Like The Stock Ones. I Will Post Pics When Done But I Was Wondering If Anybody Felt The Same Way I Do? How Many Sets Should I Make 5,10,20? They Would Be Really Cheap Like $15. Let Me Know What You Guys Think.

I saw another guy with hyper with this set up from the ducati superbikes and I thought it was a nice clean set up. Now I know what bike to order them from. Thanks Nogooder. Post some pics of the ones you make bufftropfish I might be interested in those too.

i dont know what "bufftropfish" means...
order them from here... http://www.tawvehicle.com/
$48.00 at the dealer $18.00 from TAW, but just know that i ground all the writing off the lids and had them re-anodized. also you will need to order the correct bleeders.

which bleeders did you order? where they made for those specific fluid containers?

yes they are specific to those reservoirs, they have a phone number on the site. call them, the lady is very nice.

the conversion is super easy. you just need the bleeders, because they hold the container onto the master cylinder. i unbolted them from the bars, poured the fluid into a little cup, took off the tube which left the little plastic thingy sticking out, yanked it out with some vice grips, its got a flared end so its kinda hard to yank out, then just put the new ones on, bolt on new bleeders, pour the fluid back in, you can then bleed them right from the master, GENTLY though cuz if you pull the lever too hard the fluid will squirt about 20 feet. close the bleeder, put lid on... DONE!

According to Webster's, a "bufftropfish" is "One who capitalizes every written word"...

I was wondering if I was the only one that thought that was weird.

Thanks guys but the 749/999 reservoirs don't look like they will fit with the handguards. I want to keep the hand guards. Oh and AZ SCOTT I DIDN'T REALIZE THE CAPS LOCK WAS ON TILL I WAS ALMOST DONE. BUT I KINDA LIKE ALL CAPS.
