Remote reservoir shock people....come on in :)

Finally a solution for those stupid rubber snubbers and hose clamps. Why some other shop hasn't done this before, I have NO idea.... Couldn't stand hose clamps on my bike (and it's not a 100K build or a movie bike, etc).

Billet aluminum, stainless fasteners. Holds the reservoir securly to the frame while looking the part. Doesn't stick out any further than the rad on the s4r bikes, and will fit anywhere on a ducati frame. Matter o fact, I'll be using this on my SBK build as it's got the ohlins remote resi on it as well.

Anyway, I've got 8 extra "sets", which I will be selling. Anodizing is available, black and Ti are the planned colors. I might make more depending on how these sell/market to shops.

pretty dang cool.

Just curious, why did you mount the reservoir so far up on the frame? Is it for aesthetic or functional reasons?

that looks great

Just one spot to put it. WHen I have it rebuilt later in the year I'll shorten the house and mount it towards the back somewhere.

Ought to look really good with black ano.. (And even better with Ti/silver once I get the reservoir anodized black.

I'd love to...cept I know nothing about making a webpage....and don't have thousands (or even hundreds) of dollars to have one made!

NAKID · December 26, 2009, 02:31:30 PM

I think there are enough people here with the know-how that might even trade work for parts...

justinrhenry · December 26, 2009, 05:04:20 PM

you can buy webpage templates and make one cheap.

Charlief · December 26, 2009, 05:31:08 PM

Cost?

Kopfjäger · December 26, 2009, 07:57:40 PM

Nice.

I just eliminated the whole part.

Do a google search for "website templates" and you'll get lots of hits. You can buy a template, download some free software to personalize it, pay for webspace and a url for well under $100. Of course it will take some time to personalize the template, especially if you've never done it before.
