675 Billet Front Brake Reservoir ?

Hi I have just got a nice 07 triple it has a weep on the lower side of the front brake reservoir , I read a bit about it being a common fault, so was thinking just as well change it for a billet one with a screw top is there such a thing available for the early triples and/or can anyone recommend one ?
Thanks

 

I use a clear smokes resovior from 2018 kawa Z900RS
Look really good. And uses original top/hose as same fitting

 

World of Triumph are selling billet ones for just over £20 at the moment.

Bloody Bonneville ones are still £72.00!

 

For £20, I've ordered a Daytona one and will see if it'll fit either the Bonnie or the RS

 

Bugger it - so have I now!
It's your fault if it won't fit!

 

My fault eh......?



Err nope!

 

You and crispey have too much time on your hands!

 

My brakes are piss poor
Maybe I should get one

 

Got mine today.
At a quick glance, it'll need a little bit of thought with the bracket but should fit.

 

Fitted mine today.
Had to bend the bracket slightly but fitted it in the same position as the old one with one of the hex-head bolts holding the RH switch gear on. If you have stock mirrors like me, you will need a spacer to avoid fouling the nut for the mirror and a longer hex bolt. This is my temporary one for now but it works just fine. The existing rubber hose from the old reservoir is too short so you will also need a longer one.



The old "Pot of p*ss" style reservoir!

 

I know most techs hate them. They corrode shut then they have to use big grips to open them.

 

I don’t suppose you still have the original hose that you would happy to sell would you please?

Got a nick in mine and have no idea where I can get another of that shape

Cheers

I think I kept it with the old reservoir - not back home until 20th but will have a look for it. You can have it if I've still got it.

 

Now that would be awesome if you could. Many many thanks

 

Good morning Steve,

I don't suppose you still have that hose at all do you please?

Many thanks

Nick

 

Make it fit I bought tiger sport black billet reservoir but it won’t fit straight on,in middle of making a bracket out of old spanner to turn vertical mounting point into horizontal,just waiting for paint to dry then fit to speedy. For £20ish no brainer
