as it happens i'm after some ideas about my brake /clutch fluid bottles

because i've had to drop the bars 60mm the fluid bottles sit way below the yolk

should i just make up brackets to sit them where they are or should i get some longer hose and move them up to where they should be ?

any other suggestions welcome

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Now I think about it it was just a piece of clear tubing about 2 inches long with a bung in the top..must have been a pinhole in the bung.

Seemed to work ok and you can see the level easy and top up if needed.

When you think about it its only ever going to go down with pad wear or unless something is wrong. Looked smart aswell.
