    Who's got these type of rear brake reservoirs fitted? Can you share some pictures please?

    I've got this fitted at the moment which was on it when I bought the bike recently. It seems redicolously long to me. I was looking at making it shorter but the direction it comes out of the master cylinder would mean it will be pointing forwards rather than upwards.

    Interested to see what/how others are.

    The usual thing is to cut them short, although mine is an RR6 where the pipe is pretty much vertical.

    They defo look a lot better shorter. The problem is the angle they come out of the MC. @Dave dunlop Is yours just resting on the frame there? Does it stay it that position?

    The angle on the stock reservoir bugged me so found the spares that allow a straight swap

    Is that a 90 bend? Can you remember where you got it from?

    Yeh just straight on the frame with a tiny blob of silicon behind to hold it I place otherwise it tries disappearing behind the subframe.

    The answer is the 90 degree one that Si has...
