TECH: Make a tiny brake fluid reservoir

[edward]

cool

did you use a bolt for the cap?

I have been following this post now and got to thinking about mc sizing for my rear brake set up. How does the resivor effect the operation of the brakes? Would a minimal set up work on my dual caliper rig I have been working on? Any input would be appreciated

does this badass mod work on stock harley master cylinder or only on the nissin set up?

I just did mine the other day thank for the great idea I love it

I just put on a hydro clutch on my ironhead chop, the specs state 11/16" bore.
I've looked everywhere and cant seem to find any nissin or the like, just the big chrome gross looking ones.
I would realy like to do this as it looks clean as hell, thanks guys.

Yes. Find a 1" diameter grinding stone and have at it. Mine worked out perfect.

wonder how hard it would be to chuck up in the bridgeport

Do you guys think a ducati 19mm bore would work if the slave calls for a 11/16 bore? i tried converting it but i have a disability called stupid.
Thanks

I opened up mine by hand. Just kept at it with a file, some rolled up 80 grit and a little patience. Took about 20 min.

Awesome. Ordered mine last night with a matching clutch handle. Pretty excited

Fuck man . . that is some SERIOUS looking stopping power!

It's not as effective as it looks, the tire and traction is the limiting factor. A recent Horse issue did a story on a dual caliper build and it's use, an interesting read.

Do you know what issue i can find that in? I don't usually buy the horse.
