New rear brake setup

Post by svr-ash »

Today i spent most of the day getting air out my new rear brake system (K2 GSXR caliper, SRAD master cylinder and SRAD reservoir)

Anyway i thought I'd post some pics of the reservoir. I changed it because of the ass it is to refill the SV original one

Fits nice and neatly here :wink:

And as you can see from this pic, you can check the levels with out removing the whole rear cowling 8)

I may have to try that idea of changing the rear brake reservoir on mine as it is a right pigs ear to check/top up. Got to strip the whole tailend on mine. :roll:

Fab job by the way :wink:
