junununu Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I recently swapped out my stock bars for a pair of BikeMaster clubman cafe style bars, but noticed that the brake fluid reservoir is in a tilt. I'm concerned about fluid being able to flow through, because the opening is now the highest point on the reservoir, so all the fluid pools down by the opposite corner of the opening. Is the reservoir pressure activated and does fluid still run through, or do I need to find an aftermarket fluid reservoir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
