I see alot of people use the ugly water/camping fuel bottles as overflow bottles and it got me wondering why?
When you can do what the motard guys call "the turkey baster mod" similar too

That was only a 2 min google search for an image. i mean why have it on show( or atleast stand out so dam much) when its possible to hide it a little more. another idea(custom made so can be made to hold more fluid)Attachment 1839
excellent thanks ok depending on what you wanted done im sure somewhere between $40 - $50 bring your bottle up and we can discuss styles and ideasQuote:

i made my own from stainless steel ,it depends on the look your going for ,yup its easy to buy any kind of container.
i have a water bottle because it cost me $4 and looked a shit load better than the big flat plastic one i had
come on guys whos going to be the first ASF member to have a custom leather carved over flow bottle ? yes its a race you never know you just might really like it
why have a water bottle when you can strap a deep fryer to your bike..Quote:

I've read that some guys put an overflow bottle on motards because they run hot, escpecially on the road with stop start traffic, the overflow means you can run more coolant. I can't imagine those tiny overflow bottles being any use on my vfr, it needs to be able to hold more coolant.
how big do you think though hooligan?
you have kinda missed my point,its more why make so ugly and a stand out "feature" but anyway.
Cos it's a streetfighter?
I actually made my own out of stainless pipe. Then machined up the 2 ends and welded them in with a sintered cap on one end.
this is what i use on water cooled bikes... nice and simple to fit and they look good and only cost about $70 from memory
