Billet Annodised Rear Brake Reservior - Feeler thread - Suzuki SV650 Forum: SV650, SV1000, Gladius Forums

suzuka1980 · 11-05-2009, 02:21 AM

I made a few pieces of the engine oil cap (can be seen in another thread). In addition, I also made a rear brake resevoir.

Actually, I made 3, but damaged 2 of them.

Ok, the catch is I do not have any spare rear brake resevoirs to sell right now, BUT I will start production with just a list of 10.

Any normal anodised color...

Price: $47.50 shipped
As usual, I will not charge for my learning mistakes. The price is much higher compared to the engine oil cap, because it is more complicated, and needs a large block of aluminum to begin with, not to mention about 3 times more time.

NOTE: I have made the clutch reservoirs tilted at a slight angle. The mounting plate is not parallel to the cup! This fits my bike with aftermarket rearsets just fine.

Here are the pics...

Moderator: I will pay for posting fees if the group buy kicks off. This is only a feeler thread to gauge interest.

Nope, this is not the same as Vandriver's stuff. I had machined it and damaged 2 in the process, otherwise I would have had 2 spares to sell already.

Shape and design is also slightly different. Overall, a brake resevoir has to look like this...therefore the similarities. All the aftermarket ones look similar too.

Not the weird cheap one made of some nifty seethrough tubing...

How about one that hides completely behind the rear set on the brake side? That'd be something different and original. *shrugs*.
