not keen on the standard item and it’s bracket, seen a few with black Triumph resivoirs which look better, what are the options and pics please.
I have the billet Triumph ones on mine, came with the bike. There’s a rear one on eBay at the moment for a reasonable price.
Here you go - genuine quality Triumph accessory http://www.worldoftriumph.com/trium...332/triumph-front-brake-reservoir-type-2.html
At the front, it uses the original bracket, but you have to trim the hose to a shorter length (or it will kink). If you plan on returning it to stock at some point, you can buy original Brembo hose on eBay for a fraction of the Triumph price. The rear one is a simple swap with no other adjustments. I swapped mine out very carefully, taking care not to get air into the system and avoiding the need to do any bleeding. There's a higher volume of fluid in the old reservoir - so as long as you don't spill any, there's no need to buy a top up. Whatever you do, protect the bike from stray brake fluid. Instructions attached - although they're slightly confusing as they cover several different Triumphs. Shout if you need more specific tips on the procedure (like not squeezing the lever once you've emptied the fluid ) - always happy to help a fellow Essex Man.
Just swapped out my front reservoir. Looks the nuts and only took me 10 minutes. Not cheap though but definitely worth it
My bike is a 2012, it’s actualy the bracket that I hate, big silver thing that places the reservoir too high, may just try and sort out another bracket for it.
This is my bracket, Untitled by Bryan Haynes, on Flickr are there later ones that are a better fit and locate the reservoir lower?
Morning, I too am looking for alternative front brake reservoir as I do not like the original. 2002 Speed Triple 955i I would like, if possible to have an integrated reservoir as well, rather than the "pot"...but only if it is no faff/a straight swap. I appreciate this will require new lever(s). What might i need to be aware of? Immediate queries include: Is there some reason NOT to have an integrated reservoir? Does having two calipers up front preclude them? Is there a size of "bore" or anything that is required for the fluid flow? what else...!? I was thinking something like this: click here But of course they then need appropriate threaded mirror mounts... As well as not liking the plastic nature of the current pot, I have also found a screen (from Skidmarx) but it fouls on the pot when moving the handlebars lock to lock. "help me Obi-wan....you're my only hope..." "help me Obi-wan....you're my only hope..." "help me Obi-wan....you're my only hope..."
Apologies vulpes; I missed your reply... Can you supply details of the lever? Is it a pair? Are they adjustable? Is the reservoir ok for twin calipers - does anyone know? It looks like a much simpler option to what I found!! https://britishcustoms.com/products/reservoir-direct-mount
I can't supply you with details mate, sorry. It was on the bike when I purchased it. The mechanic at the dealers reckoned it's a Honda or Yamaha reservoir/lever. No problem whatsoever for the twin calipers, my bike stops really well!
