CB750F2 .... silk purse from a sows ear.
SumpMagnet:
If I have this right....the 'reservoir' ... is not a pot, its the long greenish coloured tube. There is a bung in the top to keep the fluid in and the water out if it rains. Then there is a clip to fasten it at the MC end, and a jubilee clip for the other end? Think thats right.
It's cheap because it's pretty simple...but in my case, I reckon it would tuck up quite neatly behind the side panel which is tight on space due to the oil tank being in there. I will snag one becuase I think it's a neat solution and fits with what I am doing. The tube only needs to hold enough fluid to account for one 'piston' full in the MC to work the brakes, so I guess race teams looked for how to store just enough and no more.
@Laverdaroo ...thanks for the tip, and the nice words :) I wanted to stick with a Honda solution, and get something affordable. But I definitely wanted rearsets. Cheap imported ones are out there, but I have seen the quality, and often its awful. You want solid dependable pivots and I figured this was a way to get pegs and controls that looked neat, worked well, and were well finished. That and the fact that CBR600 bits were silly cheap, getting a full set of pegs, linkages and M/C for peanuts. Even allowing for the big chunk af alloy I bought..... it's still cheaper than a set of Chinesium rearsets. Winning for sure!

splendid, thanks. nice work by the way.
Laverdaroo:
It's a small kit but like you say, it tucks away, looks neat and does exactly what you suggested you needed. Its compatible and to those that know, is cool as hell!
It may be a clip, a tube and a stopper for 14 quid :'(, but..................... its and HRC clip, tube and stopper :o 8) ;D
Pleasure and lovely bike coming on there, the cbr rearsets are cheap as there's billions out there and heaps were raced making standard parts easy to get hold of and the spares market is still really cheap for bits and bobs. You're right to not do the chinese thing, you have to stand and put your weight on those crap things; I wouldn't be trusting any of those at all and I reckon you've done it justice by grabbing those bits.
SumpMagnet:
hehe heh.... I am now the proud owner of a genuine HRC branded jubilee clip, a similarly branded piece of plastic tube, a bung and another clip.
should tuck in nicely :)
Laverdaroo:
Whoop, whoop!
You are now a proper cool dude! 8)
