    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    I have now decided that i am going to use the small reservoirs for Brake and clutch and will fabricate some brackets to hold them in place like they are shown in the pic here.

    The positioning looks sweet man!
    They clear the fairing nicely and look like oem would be there!
    Get 'er done!

    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    This is where i got the idea from. It looks even neater, but because the Bird bars sit higher i cant mount it like that.

    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    I remeber someone else used the clip-ons bolts for mounting the reservoirs man.
    Good thinking there.

    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    For anyone still following this, here is the latest effort. Some aluminium flat sheet cut down and fitted to support the reservoirs. I put a longer bolt throgh the clip on and secured the brackets with a nut at the rear. It seems to work fine and looks a lot better than the Brembo brackets in my opinion.

    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    I've still not got the brackets. I have bought a load of bolts / nuts etc. I'm sure when i have mine fitted i can let you have some of the correct ones. Whatever you do dont buy them from Pro bolt / Tastynuts. They cost an absolute fortune. As i say i'll happily give you some of mine once its built up.

    Imho Probolt makes some great quality stuff mate. They aint cheap, but they are definetely not the most expensive either. I am ok with theis pricing vs the quality.

    Having said that, if you have a great quality supplier, I would surely like to know buddy.

    I've bought lots from them before but over £30 for 5 bolts and nuts is having a laugh.

    Sure I am with you.
    But imho if them 5 bolts are indeed titanium, then its a decent price man!
    Even Ti bought from china over the net is similarly priced and at least the stuff from pro-bolt is certified and of very good quality and excellent finish...
    I am also looking for a good supplier of great bolts and nuts man, please share if you have some info, as in the 1,2million people city I live in, you can only get CRAP chinese stuff, of horrible quality and ridiculous finish, it really is shite.

    Re: Hi, My Bird story..

    I bought mine from ebay, they are stainless A2 and i also got some zinc coated high tensile steel ones. Quality of the finish is good and atound £1 each delivered. Nyloc nuts were pennies as opposed to over £3 each. I dread to think of the cost of Titanium.
