Rear Brake Reservoir Relocation
I asked the same question in a post about brake pads so it may have been missed. So, does anyone know of a kit that will relocate the rear brake reservoir away from a hot Staintune pipe?
Thanks

I don't know of a kit but the spring clip that holds the reservoir is offset. Pop out the reservoir, drill out the rivets that hold the clip, flip it 180 degrees and re-rivet, clip the reservoir back in. This moves the reservoir at least 10mm away from the pipe and it still sits comfortably inside the rh body trim. Takes about 10 mins.

i never bothered to do anything other than take a cheap black wrist sweat band, applied some of the foil tape that came with the staintunes and then covered it with the wrist band. it is not like it is visable, but do what you feel comfortable with.
