Title: Brake Fluid Reservoir
Post by: glover_313 on April 16, 2006, 12:15:29 PM
Yesterday my bike was not balanced properly, and it tipped over. The right mirror snapped off at the threads. Where it snapped is connected to the clamp that holds the brake fluid reservoir. Does anybody know where I can buy just the clamp, and how much it should cost???? Any advice is much appreciated

Look under handle lever.  That's for my 99.  If you have something different, go to your bike.

try using a drill out... Go to lowes, home depot, napa, ace, etc... ask for a drill out bit.  Take your mirror with you so you can know how big of  a bit to use.  They work like so... you drill them in in reverse and they lock into the piece that's stuck in the clamp and pull it out.  They'll be like 8-10 bucks... well worth it.... of course you will need a drill... it's cheaper and you dont have to orer any parts.

What was the number on that? I can't seem to find it for the right site  :dunno_white:


Edit** Nevermind, I found it. It's under Front Master Cylinder. Its name is "holder"  :)
