It kills me..

The brake fluid reservoir on most yamahas and Suzukis..

EYE SORE why cant they all have the small black box. On my 250R i have the small black box and when i hopped on an R6 i was like ,.... WTF is this in my way?

[soc_monki]

same thing on any of the big bikes with dual discs. including my ZX-6. you have more and bigger caliper pistons, and bigger master cylinder, and need more fluid, and a bigger reservoir, for it all.

annoying at times...yes. but i dont notice it much honestly

I tend to keep my eyes on the road......

it's never been an issue for me.

and where would all those sportbike posers put their wristband if they had the old style reservoir?

wristbands belong on a tennis player's wrist.
My 84 Ninja's are quite sleek.

LIke that word, sleek.

Lots of after market parts one can buy that look better if you wish.

the wrist bands where used to preserve the fluid in the sun. the sun breaks down the fluid alot faster.
if ya dont like the cups then find a bike with the normal style and swap them out. ill trade ya mine off my zrx for yours ? hell ill even pay shipping for both of us ??

started in motogp so when the fluid heated up and expanded it got soaked up by the wristband. races don't last long enough for the sun to break down the fluid.

I guess, one could always replace the plastic cup with a nice, flower patterned Dixie cup.

I thought that was why everyone did it.

I like my big reservoir. I'm doing my part to keep the sweatband industry afloat.
