need ideas on master cylinder location

[thewiz]

ok most no i have a speed triple with a 09 gsxr front end i put a fly screen on my bike but with the clip on bars the front brake radial master cylinder is hitting my fly screen i think if i swap the master cylinder with a normal one with Minnie reservoir i might be ok what do you guys think.

Make a new bracket and reposition the res so it clears.
It'll save you a shit load too.

Or try turning that one 180°

[thewiz]

just tried that i didnt see it before but now the hole lot is going to hit because the master cylinder is so big its going to hit as well fark if its not one thing its another.

Tyga sell mini reservoirs dirt cheap. Something like this should do it

why not just move the thing like this....looks good and easy to do ;)

[lurch]

Looks like the same radial m/c as on later S3's. I couldn't find decent mini reservoirs for radials so ended up with the Triumph black anodised ones, but the front isn't really any smaller. Problem is that the line from the res to the m/c attaches to an elbow that just pushes into the body of the m/c - so there's no bolt to locate a mini res and stop it from flopping around.

If there's enough room Harry's option is probably best. The forks look almost straight on in the pics so a new bracket is probably gonna be pretty fucking ugly to give enough clearance for full left steering lock. Maybe an S3 flyscreen rather than the Street Triple one would help a bit as well? They sit a bit higher and don't wrap around the lights so much so might offer some more clearance.

[thewiz]

the fly screens not a speed one its of a different triumph the m/c and leaver hit the farking screen and well dose the normal m/c come out as far as this one and this is a gsxr 600 m/c i have now if i can fix this i may have to get some mods done to the new bilit top clamp and put handle bars on fark.

[Harry]

why dont you just ditch the mastercyclinder all togeather and just put a clear tube on it with a bung in the end,i dont have pic's of it but im sure someone has. cheap and instant fix mate.
you can buy them off here somewhere,search e-bay

Also like Nick said, Exben does make some very tidy resi's .. One of them may help you with your clearance issue.. I'm sporting 2 of these BXP puppies on my R1 and the quality is superb/clean and very very tidy.

I picked up one last week from Extreme Creations and it wasn't a BXP reservoir it was branded VD.
I'm unsure if Ben is still making them.
Might pay to ask before ordering.

sorry to hear about the VD Ben,get well soon.

Yes we are still doing them, the one you picked up Rod was one of the other 1 piece rear bolt type we sell, they come from the US.

so is this the one you make ben or the other .

[EXBEN]

We make all the other types except for the ones in that pic, because I figured it's not worth doubling up on something already avaliable.
The two types in that pic are for rear Nissin bolt type only ( 45deg & 90 deg). The ones Gitzy posted are our ones suitable for the GSXR Radial front master cyl.
