Change OEM brake and clutch fluid reservoir

[tonmarchelli]

im really close to buying an 08 busa and am putting my list together of the things i want to do to it.

one think i want to do is change out the metal front brake and clutch fluid reservoirs to the round plastic ones found on the repli-racers. not for weight reasons or anything, just a personal preference for looks and size?

think this is possible?

Yes, it's possible. Maybe find 07 1000 clutch and brake setups.

I have a set as well. The ones I have came off a brand new bike. I have been thinking about getting rid of them.

You cant just slap on the plastic cups! the stock res. is built into the whole mastercylinder....

unless they changed them for 08

But you can take the whole setup install it, hookup the brake & clutch lines and work with no clearance problems.. correct?

Double check the mounting of the radial brake master cylinder, especially if coming from a donor Gixxer1000. I thought someone already experimented with this setup and had clearance issues?

The billet pieces are so much nicer than the plastic ones to me .. One of the nice items on the Busa I think .. Oh well to each their own

+1 there have definitely been reports of clearance issues. You will from what I've heard have to rotate them to not hit and you still may not be able to turn fully stop to stop. I don't know first hand but I do read a lot. LOL After market is available though.
