Brake and Clutch Reservoir Options

[metallimonster]

So after reading the thread on CRG and Pazzo levers I realized I want some new levers but think they would look stupid with the stock reservoirs on my 02 620. Plus the paint is flaking off them anyhow. 
What are my options for new reservoirs?  Some pics would be awesome.  Thanks.

On a 620?  No options... not with out replacing the masters.  On the 620 you have the 'coffin' reservoirs which are cast into the whole master assembly. 

IF you get something that uses a remote reservoir, Rizoma is the only folks I know of that make flash reservoirs.  A number of folks make billet lids for the stock plastic pee-cups though

Thanks yuu, seems like your always answering the hundreds of questions I have.

So I'll need new masters and hardware along with the new reservoirs that look like a drug test cup?

What kind of masters can I use?

If you can get a look at an S2R 1000, those will be the closest remote res set up to what you currently have.  748, 9xx SBKs M1000 etc all will have that same set up.  YOu should be able to use your existing lines with that sort of master.  BTW they were typically called 'Goldline' since they all used to be gold in color.  But now you can find them in black - like on the s2r1k.

You'd need new masters that will take remote resevoirs, that match up to the bore and stroke of your current masters.  From the factory they come with cheapy plastic reservoirs and cast pot metal lids.  Rizoma makes anodized billet replacements for those plastic cups.

IF you want to go bigger bucks, you could get some radial masters... but would probably need new lines

One other possible alternative is the radial set up of a 749/999  They have attached plastic reservoirs, not the classic remote pee-cups... but they are radial, and typically cheaper than the other remote res radial masters.  But, I do know for sure that you're looking at new lines to use them.

In most cases, you can re-use the lines with Goldline, GP radial or 999 type master cylinders.
You'll get better braking with the radial designed MCs.

We use the GP radial MC on most of our project bikes.

 Good call Yuu.

 Also keep in mind, if your looking for a bit of bling the reservoirs on the radial 999 masters are removable. Then you could use the before mentioned Rizomas. I have that setup and it's pretty trick. It's visible in my sig pic.

put goldlines on my 620, the lines worked fine. at least on SM bars...

should be ok if you're running stock

I was just referring to the fact that the radials tend to have their exit out the bottom, vs out the side on coffins and goldlines.

But Motos got way more time in this stuff than me, so listen to what he's saying.
