[quote=northwind;1298696] Are the discs early SRAD, the really thin ones that they stopped using?[/quote]

How do I find out, they are SRAD ones but what year I dont know. They have min thickness of 4.5mm stamped on them if that helps? On the Duc bars have you any idea how to attach the brake fluid reservoir?

Discs- no, not sure. 4.5mm seems like a sensible minimum, IIRC the early ones started out thinner but had the same minimums.

As for the reservoir- duck tape! Or alternatively, does the bar have a hole in the inside end? If it does, get a rubber bung in there, and bolt a mount to it, that's how mine's held on now (after a long spell with duck tape).

Can you explain a bit more about the reservoir, maybe a pic? I'm assuming drill a hole through the bar from the top, put a bar end rubber inside and screw the mount to that???

I dont have any pics of mine, I'll see what I can scratch up. Basically the end of the bar is open on my clipons, just like the outside end, so I mounted the reservoir in the same way that you'd fit bar-ends into hollow bars, with an expanding plug.

You could drill it, but they felt like steel, not easy to tap... Hmm. Maybe you could fly the reservoir off the master cylinder mounts?

Ahh so use an expanding plug then make up a bracket to mount the reservoir on?
