Welcome from the windy city.
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.

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.

I remeber someone else used the clip-ons bolts for mounting the reservoirs man.
Good thinking there.![]()

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.

That looks good
Alot better than mine is going look ... I'm keeping it standard looking with a CBR600 MC ... Until I win lotto and then I'll book it in to Rick's workshop
Did you get all the bolts with the brembo brackets? Mine are currently being made ......

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.

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.![]()

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.
