I just want to comment for the people who have concerns about the location. I've had it on my 2019 for 3 years now and zero issues. The rear brake never felt different or felt like it lost power. Also, I put passenger peg covers for the open holes. Therefore, no rain or moisture will get to the frame.
Have you had any problems with the brake reservoir sitting right next to the motor? Does anyone know what mm the threads are? Thanks.. Ride Safe everyone .
Since the line from master cylinder to reservoir is essentially sealed the hose should not build an air pocket under normal operation. For bleeding the brakes it is recommended to remove the reservoir from its bracket and lift it up to prevent an air pocket.
Relocating the reservoir is more aesthetic and than performance modification, especially if you want to easily remove your passenger pegs. Many factory motorcycles have the brake fluid reservoir tucked back into the body work for the same reason. Servicing is just one bolt with a captive nut and you can release the reservoir enough to easily fill the reservoir.
Sounds like maybe not the modification for you, I think you’re overestimating the air temperature in that region and and very little if the engine heat conducts through the bracket as it is thin stainless steel.
This has got to be the most dogshit modification i have ever seen. The heat off the engine is gonna heat up your fluid in no time and now you have 2 open holes in your subframe thats gonna let all the moisture in and rust up.
Thanks for a great product and install video. Just installed mine on the exact bike.
does the heat from the engine impact the plastic resevoir?
Great Question no answer 🤔 😕
That's my question as well, good one!
What’s the benefit in this relocation? If you run a full cage it won’t allow you to install this as well. Just curious is all what’s the need🤘🏽

The new position feed pipe now goes up hill from the reservoir and the feed pipe no longer has a natural fall. ..... gonna cause problems?

are these still available
Ergh near a heat source and a pain to service later on.... my question I why!

I prefer the Evotech solution
Will this fit a 2018 MT-09?
Idiotic idea... Brake fluid just next to the hot engine, congratulations :)
