So Im riding to work this morning and I see what appeared to be rain on my visor.  However when I got to work, I noticed that this same substance was on my tank and right side fairing.  A closer inspection revealed that it was brake fluid. I looked at my front resevoir and noticed that the glass was gone!!!  I still have front brakes at the moment, so Ill make it home......I think.......but now I have to replace the resevoir.  Has anyone else experienced this problem with the glass mysteriously falling out?? I know it was there when I did my walk around inspect this morning.  Now it is gone.  Also...does the factory use a JB weld type substance to hold that window in place, or did the guy I bought it from break and then fix it?

I believe they are pressed in during manufacturing.I'm not sure there glass,maybe acrylic.If it fell out and there was glue in there, then I would suspect a cheap repair.If I am wrong, someone please set me right.You could use a gsxr,sv,or bandit master cylinder with a remote mount resevoir.That will eliminate the clear site glass.

it is about 150 bucks to replace the whole res assy OEM and new.  i've got an older one not worth any money i can ship to you to use for now if you like

I found a 2001-03 GSXR600 master with remote resevoir for $20 on ebay and it'll give a little more breaking power.

Uh.... don't forget that your mirror mount is on the bake perch..  a new brake ass'y without one implies a slight problem....  these guys with the "F" models tend to forget that little detail...

I use a left hand mirror clamp on the right side or bar end mirrors. 

Actually, my mirrors mount to my headlight fairing, not the res, or the bars. I guess its an 04+ thing?

it is a F thing, btw that brake res left today 4 u

That may be a little too much Braking Power Ben.I have one of those on my Dual Disc T500 and it's Almost too much.I'd Hate to see What it would do on a Single Disc.
