    It's the 19rcs 18-20 you want. The 18-20 refers to the adjustability of the lever which controls the travel and progressiveness of the
    force emitted to the pistons

    Just bought the RCS 19 as it offers both the 18 or 20 options.

    You can use the standard reservoir (I did).
    You have to make a different bracket to mount it though.

    Here's a section of the thread when I did mine....
    I wasn't happy with the bracket i made to hold the stock reservoir to the new RCS.

    Today I decided to do a mark 2.

    I basically copied the stock res bracket but added a mounting hole at 90 degrees to the original position to suit the RCS clamp.

    I am really happy with the result.

    The bracket took some bending to get it just right, but i think it looks great now.

    Comments please.....
