TECH: Make a tiny brake fluid reservoir

[TheHumbleWelder]

Damn thats 17mm. You think some of these 14mm would be fine for the 1/2" (12.7/13mm)?

Yeah i think the 14mm ones would work good, maybe a little more stiff but still manageable.

Snagged a 14mm for $20. Just has the plastic reservoir stem snapped off. Hopefully the rest of it is fine, just looks like minor road rash, took a little gamble. Trying to find one of those straight stems like someone posted on the last page.

Well, I've rear and re-read this thread about 3 times. I understand the basic concept, but can't view any of the photos without paying like 50 bucks to photobucket. That aint gonna happen, so I guess I'm gonna have to wait till I see what yall talking about when I see one in person. Anyone have an 02 sporty with this set-up anywhere near South Louisiana???

I finally managed to see all the pics. NOW I'm having trouble finding a "nissin" front master cylinder for under 75 bucks. Where did yall all find those 20 dollar set-ups? I'll be honest, I'm still a little confused on which exact master cylinder I'm looking for in reguards to "bore" size and thread size. I have an 02 sporty and absolutely hate all the bulk on the bars. Any help is appreciated.

Look here at Fab Kevin:

Remote Master Cylinder

This 5/8" bore master cylinder is designed to be hidden on the bike, and actuated by a cable. The kit is ready to be welded to your frame, and includes a master cylinder, 10mm banjo bolt (same as late model HD), linkage system, and a Barnett Cable Clamp so you can use any cable system you want.

It's DOT 5. No worries yet.

DOT #5 is purple.

What did you use for brake line/hose?

[OSIMA]

What did you use for a banjo bolt/fitting? Nissin and HD don't mate together. Please advise as I'm trying this mod.

Individual fittings and hoses are available. I just piece mine together from parts (makes future changes easy) bought online at the best prices (Summit, Jegs and Ebay are frequent sources). Study fitting sizes and styles. I use 3 AN fittings most of the time. There are adapters, blocks, and switch housings for most any combination.

For example figure out what you'd need to connect stock caliper(s) and a stock master then the different (usually banjo fitting with the eye for your master cylinder bolt and the male fitting for your brake hose) part you need for a complete result, and remember when buying lines too long is better than too short for obvious reasons. It will take a little reading but that's worth it.
