hi there good people i have a problem with leaking rear brake reservoirs , ive had 3 different makes upto now and they all have passed fluid , usually around the screw cap/lid area after riding ........ive tried thread sealer , rubber gaskets , you name it ive tried it so i was after buying one which i know someone has used problem free ..........

thats where you guys come in ........ has anybody got an after market rear reservoir on there bike where they can recommend ? preferably in chrome or gold ?

hope to hear from you all ............

 

I wish I could offer a suggestion of a good one to get. But I've never had an issue with any bike I've ever owned leaking.

Im certainly not trying to be smart, but are you maybe not gettting the lid tight enough? Maybe too tight? Maybe too full? The only reason I ask is I've had an issue, but all of your bikes have had the issue.

 

its simply poorly manufactured parts ......the oem was fine but unsightly .......
the after market rear reservoirs out there are mainly chinese crap with loose fitting screw threads on the caps ......most dont come fitted with a diaphram either......

i dont want to go down the road of a straight tube as a reservoir like the hrc ones i simply want something well engineered and trick looking ................think i may have to manufacture my own..........

I've never heard this problem. Maybe it's overfilled.
