Ok, so I got my brake reservoir in from P3 Racing, it was $25 or $20 shipped and I had it in two days. Part# if you are interested is 17-959. I had to use a longer bolt for the top collar of the m/c where it clamps down on the handlebars so that I could mount the reservoir there. I have a pic of that. You will notice that the hose is a hair short for the application as it's being pulled somewhat, I may get a longer one. FYI, the F4 brake lever won't match up with the 929/954 m/c, I already tried.

Anyways, the difference is real noticable compared to the stock m/c. The brakes engage a lot quicker now. I am very happy with it. Lever feels more like my brother's r6 with s/s lines. Total cost: $70.

I didn't know the cup had anything to do with it. I do like how the stock reservoir mounted low on the bar, but I will take the better m/c any day.

Obviously no clearance issues? And all you need for this is the cup, mount and longer bolt to make this work?

No clearance issues, dang close to touching but it doesn't. Don't need a mount as you can mount it to the m/c collar that goes around the handlebars.
Any other questions let me know.

Now if it would quit raining so I could ride I would happy!
