Race rear brake reservoir

Post by Frenchy »

Had an utterly awesome first day out yesterday on L5 track bike at Snetterton.

Came away with more work to do to improve performance and other ideas though.

Has anyone had experience of using a clear rear brake reservoir tube or kits? I like the idea of tidying up the back end like that and the seeming simplicity.

Any suggestions of where to get one or what to use?

Hi, my mate has one on his zx6r road bike with out any problems and I'm going to get one for my zxr400 track bike.

Think they look really good. Don't think you are going to save that much weight but I suppose every oz counts on the track :smt001

You can get them on eBay and there only cheap.

Brilliant thanks buddy. Will purchase from eBay, thanks for the link.

You're right, it won't save much weight, but I can't afford a new set of bolts yet! They do look Gucci though.

Thanks again.

I've just cut the rubber hose down, put a bung in the end and secured with a jubilee clip. Cost=10p and saves weight
