I recently acquired a 2000 955i daytona and am in process of a general restoration. So far that has involved sourcing OEM turn signals/indicators, exhaust, seat and gas tank cowl and all is proceeding well 2 questions about parts 1 - under the rear seat cowl there appears to be a small reservoir. Can anyone tell me what this is for? I am thinking either rear brake or possibly coolant overflow? 2 - there is a black plastic assembly that the rear tail lights go into (also the license plate attaches to). I can't find the part listed in any of the spare parts manual, can anyone tell me what its called and possibly a part number? Mine got a bit melted from an akrapovic exhaust and I want to see if I can source an OEM (if not then I will just try the old heat gun restoration method) Thanks much! Martin G
Have a look here Martin https://www.worldoftriumph.com/collections/302036-0-2?type=daytona-955i-from-vin-132513 Put a picture up of the reservoir by hitting the upload file button. Hope this helps.
The only reservoir I have under the seat is the expansion tank for the engine cooling system. The rear brake reservoir is on the right hand side just above the brake pedal.
Oh, I just remembered that Californian bikes have an overflow bottle somewhere and we didn't get this in the UK. I did the Triumph Factory tour back in 1998 and remember them explaining the subtle build differences across the world.
All bike's that are water cooled have an over flow tank , California vehicles have an evaporation cannister/tank if they are carbureted.
Do you mean this @mgordonvegas8 ? If so then yes, coolant expansion. Taken from a 2002 Speed Triple (which will be similar?).
