Chasing a '97 to '03 front brake reservoir

[foxy]

Hi All,

chasing a front brake fluid reservoir if anyone has a spare lying about. preferably complete with mounting bolts, rubbers & cap.

Flick me a message if you are able to help.

Cheers

I'm in the process of changing the front braking setup with the F4i calipers and master cylinder.
So that means I'll have a stock master cylinder and reservoir available soon.
Problem is I won't be home again until January 6 or so to make it happen.
How quick are you needing this?

eBay has some anodised fluid reservoirs but they fade very quickly.

I had bought a cover for the F4i master cylinder I'll be swapping and the OEM cover for it was scratched so I got a cover from fleabay. It's black anodized with a red stripe so shouldn't have an issue with fading I hope. 🤞😉

Hay mate. That is no problem with either the cap or the time;) once you are ready to part with it, let me know how much you want for it and we can sort it from there. I am off to work on the 7th though, for 3 weeks. but should not be an issue.

Where are you based? I am in WA

I'm in the U.S. and should be able to ship to you, hopefully.
I'll make sure to to get it ready for you when I get home in about 3 weeks.
I was going to show you a picture of the unit but these forums have no way to display images. 😤🤨
It's like new and in great condition. 👍😎

I replaced all my reservoirs with alloy ones from ebay years ago.

I hadn't really looked for a clutch reservoir yet. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Do they have a reservoir for that or is it best to keep it stock?
The brake reservoir is being replaced for the better pull ratio in conjunction with the F4i front calipers. This seems to be the best setup for our bikes but haven't heard about anything for the clutch. 🤔🤨

I did buy an Oberon slave cylinder for the bike so that should help with the smoothness of the lever pull from what I've read. 👍

I thought you were only after a reservoirs, not a complete Master Cylinder

I already have the complete setup from the F4i on the calipers and master cylinder. F4i master cylinder is low profile and isn't such an eyesore as the Storm unit.
And if there's an alternative similar to the F4i brake master cylinder for the clutch I'm all for it.
I'm happy either way but change is always good. 👍😉

Yes, Kev, i am just after the reservoir. the one on my bike has been replaced with something random and its an eyesore and does not fit the original bracket. Hence requiring the reservoir complete up to the master cylinder..

Hey misnblu, still after that reservoir if you have it?

can you flick a photo to my email [e-mail] and chuck me a price to post it to Hocking, Perth, Western Australia, 6065?
