Northwind has something like this, not sure if he made it himself. I remember seeing it at an AR years ago, possibly AR06??

Re: rear brake reservoir - are these ok for road use ?
No it doesn't!!!!!
We use them all the time and its fine. I suggest the person who says it sweats brake fluid is not using "official" HRC stuff. I know the chinese copy the Brembo stuff alot. Currently we have the HRC tube and stopper etc fitment to an SV, an LC, a TL1000 and 3 GSXR's never had 1 sweat yet. Quote:

I had a HRC one on my curvies. Yep they do sweat a bit, but work fine and a darn sight easier to top up and check than the curvy OEM reservoir.

Because they are using some crap tubing, you want right tygon stuff which is brake fluid proof.
£18! Lol!
