Coolant reservoir cracked, couple questions.

So while getting the bike ready I noticed the resavoir has a crack in it about 4" above the top fill line, obviously it needs replaced for my safety and cooling issues that will emerge.

My question is is there a good "aftermarket" resavoir I should go with, as a quick search came up with a lot of people having the same issues. I'm sure the bike being lowered and the rougher ride does play a role in it. So I wanted to see if anyone had some insight.

1) go with stock ressy and maybe add a couple rubber bushings to absorb more of the shock.

2) aftermarket if they are available.

3) modify my own resavoir out of a aluminum overflow off "fle bay".

I have no problem buying a oem but if it's going to be a reoccurring issue every couple years if rather find a "permanent" solution.

I also did search and came up with a lot of topics and feedback just not direct answers fwiw

Thanks in advance- Adam
 
I went back with a stock one and added some foam tape in certain areas. I have not seen any aftermarket ones, but I have not looked.
 
The only reason it would crack is if the bike was dropped.
Oem and forget it
 
I have a car power steering header tank on mine.
Works fine. In alloy, Various anodised colours.
Not sure it'd fit under a fairing though.

Most car accessory stores should have something suitable.
