I did this mod yrs ago to my 2002. I swapped out the brake and clutch reservoirs for round ones (FZR1000 type). The OEM are ugly and alrdy etched from seeping fluid, anyway, what are folks using now adays for a replacement? I do know that you need to match up the correct master cylinder for equal lever pressure. Meaning, if you go with a six piston brake caliper, best have the rite master cylinder for the brake especially or suffer a mushy brake grab. Appreciate the feedback.
 
We've done a few of them and keep some on hand but they are a sort of pricey option.

Yes, they would. That's a set we did in the past and don't think I have any anodized that color at the moment. I think all I have is the chromed cups/lids. I may be able to get more of them. There are also a lot of options out there for billet aluminum cups but they are not cheap for any of them.

Typically the masters are going to run in the $75-$100 range based on condition. Then you have the levers which are in the $50-$80 pair if I remember right. Then the cups which are close to $100 for the pair. I did also come up with some clamps to replace the stock ones that have a mirror mounting thread built into them. I haven't tried them on a project build yet.

Always best to email me though at [email protected]
 
thxs Sean. I will email you for a set if you can put one together for me, nothing fancy, keep it cheap pls. Scott
