Re: Getting rid of brake resiviors
Ok then. I just heard that a person could use a piece of vinyl tubing filled with brake fluid with a bolt in it as a resivior that doesnt break then? I am pretty sure that you ryan s had this on your bike the last time i saw it. Granted that was a long time ago and now u have resiviors on it. But yea thanks for the help guys

Re: Getting rid of brake resiviors
yeah i dont have any on mine. i just capped the line with a bolt. dont fill your line all the way full because you need room for expansion.

Re: Getting rid of brake resiviors
your reservoir does not have to be mounted ABOVE your master..

it can mount below..

just mount it out of the way, and it shouldn't be a problem

Damnnn Nags... Your setup looks sooo clean! Those maguras look like they are straight to the point.. no BS.. Im assuming thats made for the left side as well?? Does the cable get it the way if you try and run the handbrake on the inside?

Yea, I just got the Magura.. Its pretty sick. It's a front brake flipped over. They make a clutch side as well but I knew that the front brake would fit how I wanted it and didnt want to risk the other one not fitting. I flipped it around the other night
