Not exactly Ian. You may recall that Triumph issued a recall for this item a few years ago when it was discovered that on the first few years of the BA and Speedy models whenever there was a tip-over or anytime the bike fell on it's left side especially, that the rear brake reserviour ended up below the height of the master-cylinder, and when righted and later ridden, gravity had starved the master-cylinder of brake fluid and there would not be any rear brake accuation at all.
And thus, the recall issued was to raise the reserviour above the master-cylinder at all times, even when the bike is tipped over, and unfortunately the outcome is also that said resevouir is more pronounced in appearance.
(and here's something I can't figure out...WHY would anyone put one of those chrome covers on that thing and further draw attention to it???....somebody PLEASE explain that to me???!!!)
