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.

Looking for haute reservoirs?  Check out what MotoCorse has to offer.

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