Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories PHOTO RIZOMA REAR BRAKE RESERVOIR FITTED

Have fitted the Rizoma small rear brake reservoir CT015 and I think it looks excellent, better than the awful original. Used original clamps and hose (reduced by 3.5 inch) Currently have mounted on stock bolt but may think of moving closer to cylinder in the future. Rizoma do a range of reservoirs, this being the smallest. See post of 17th where moe attached photos of the range. I am sure there are plenty of other aftermarket items available. As this has such a small capacity you need to keep well topped up during bleeding, also use the three pumps then release nipple technique from the manual as getting all air out took me 1 litre of brake fluid and almost 1 hour. Hope photograph works as it is my first attempt. If I was to do the job again I might go for a slightly larger with the side exit pipe although not sure on mounting arrangement. The larger models have a sight glass this small one does not, in black it merges well into the frame, etc., and does not stand out like the original.

Neill looking at where you have mounted the brake res, I would of thought it needs moving higher up the frame, as Triumph did a recall on these. When the bike is dropped you may find that the rear brake does not work.

Nice looking piece, but can we get a smaller pic -maybe we can get a better persective that way. Whine, whine yeah I know.,....

Have fitted level with the original position prior to that mod kit. I have the triumph mod kit in the spares box, only had it fitted for a couple of weeks as I considered that it was more an issue with the offset outlet pipe running dry when dropped, thats why it was only an issue when dropped on one side, so mod kit was immediately removed and boxed. If bike gets dropped it will go through a thorough check before I rely on the brakes anyway. Is the St Annes meeting every monday if so what sort of time would like to get over some time? Do you do any of the triumph runs with any of the dealers, I was going to go with youles today but bleeding brakes took too long this morning. Texasbrit

roundy 77 suggest you do a right click save as then open as my photo helper (daughter) has gone out and I have no idea how to resize but did a save as and open and it came up fine. But it looks real good. Another one that I had been looking at from the us WAS FOR THE YAMAHA QUADS ( http://www.midcalmotorsports.com/partsblaster.html) but am sure there are plenty of other aftermarket items

Neil, we have a meet organised on here for September 26/27th. The meeting at St Anees starts from around 6pm and goes on until 9pm.

We have a very large turn out of bikes and a few of the boys n girls on here turn up as well.. I presume you are Blackburn way then Neil...

Is it on tomorrow? Tarleton near southport so not far to St Annes. My daughter wants to come out on the bike this week as she has not been out for a long time but will need to fit double seat and rear pegs first as gunfighter seat and no rear pegs is not good for a passenger.
