    I wasn't happy with the bracket i made to hold the stock reservoir to the new RCS.
    Today I decided to do a mark 2.
    I basically copied the stock res bracket but added a mounting hole at 90 degrees to the original position to suit the RCS clamp.
    I am really happy with the result.
    The bracket took some bending to get it just right, but i think it looks great now.
    Comments please.....

    Got the Brembo RCS clutch and perch I got from Ebay (thanks Steve :) ) and fitted it today, did you have to file back the cltch cable end cap to get it to fit into the adjuster Steve ? because mine would not fit until I did also the adjuster just hits the clocks on full lock ;)

    Now I just need to add a clutch switch once I can get hold of one and its all good :) is it best to leave the switch disconected or fit a shorting link ?? not sure what position is best for the clutch switch for me to still use the bike until a switch turns up ??

    Here are some more pics just in case everyone has not seen enough yet :) also fitted some very sexy Caprimoto stickers, thanks again Steve.

    No, my cable fitted into the adjuster no problem.
    My cable hits the speedo near to full lock though.
    Looking great Jamie!

    First time out on the bike for six weeks today (wedding honeymoon work work work) poor show I know. Anyway it was the first time I have really pushed the bike since its firsts service. Dam it shifts! Anyway I have to say towards the end of the ride the brakes didn't really live up to my expectations :-/. So I'm thinking that this Brembo upgrade may be my next mod. What's your opinion on it now you have had it a while. Thanks

    cant you get the adjustment down at the other end Bats?
    Oh, by the way, either locktite the small grub screw in or remove it.
    Both Jamie and me had problems with it working its way out until the clutch lever doesn't go all the way out and the clutch slips
