So my brake reservoir sits super high up and if I lower it, I dont think it will function correctly. I have big round ones and with my clip-ons and head light, it looks weird. Any solutions? smaller ones? coffins? thoughts?

If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

I use two rizoma reservoirs that are the same size (medium) so it is symmetrical. If you google "Bimota Single Reservoir" you'll an example using a t-junction to come from one larger reservoir to work both your hydraulic masters. Kind of a neat alternative.

It doesn't have to be mounted in front of your gauges at all, just put it on one side and run the house down in front of gauges by the bolts. IF you wanted to do it.

i think it would be cool, but i like the symmetry of one on each side.  presently the reservoir on the clutch side is waaay smaller than the brake side (rear brake reservoir I believe ??) is there a was I can just get a smaller version of that? would there be any foreseeable drawbacks to making that smaller? |

I made the brake size the same as the clutch size (both the midsize, bottom outflow rizoma reservoirs). No issus. you don't want to go too small if you have dual front calipers.

I think the guys at Indy Ducati are making the ones you are looking for. I saw the prototype and they are sweet. Low, tucked in, and tight!

I kinda like the reservoirs that come on the 999 master cylinders. I had these on my Y2K M900 as well as my 996.  |
