    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

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

    :D

    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. :cool:

    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 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.
