Title: Rear brake resevour location
Post by: rptorman on July 16, 2013, 09:47:10 AM
I know I can mount it anywhere I want, but was wanting to see a picture of the stock location. Thanks to all.

Came across a pic in an old post of some random topic that showed the stock location of the rear brake reservoir.

Thanks man, just what I needed. The guy I got the bike from cleaned up to many of the brackets. Lol

Maybe you could drill the battery box and build a quick bracket off that? Just a thought, maybe better than drilling the frame.

I was thinking about that, or welding a bracket off of the frame or battery box. I'll be taking a closer look when I get home from work.

Or maybe a cushioned clamp with coupling? Available at a lot of hardware stores I believe or trusty MCMaster Carr
