                    I would suggest getting a Brake/Clutch Reservoir Cover Mount from http://www.southerninsight.com.au/product.php?id_product=123

                    Isn't there a fairing pocket that it could be installed in?

I actually bought the mount that goes in the for stem hole of the bike, but fitting it is a problem, it does not seem to fit, even though it is rated to go into a ZZR 250

[Shiney]

That looks like it would work very well
If you can get it to fit

I use one of these on my ST11 - you have to cut the rubber cone off at the right length and be sure to use the correct washer (several sizes supplied with it). Works well for me.

If anyone who has one didn't get the instructions (WHAT? - read the instructions!!!!), here is a link to them:

http://www.rammount.com/Portals/0/Skins/NationalProducts/pdf/ramb342uassemblyweb.pdf
 They are self explanatory.

Of course, the bike must have a hole in the nut that holds the top triple clamp to the steering stem. I have removed the plastic housing from my ST11 bars because I have 30mm risers plus BMW R100RT handlebars - higher and further back, and the housing wouldn't fit without severe re-modelling.

This is supposed to be the picture from above, but it has inserted a link, not the pick - you'll know what I mean without inserting the pic again. I hope.

If this is the bike, then it won't fit without replacing the top yoke/ triple clamp nut. There are places that will sell replacement nuts that will do the job. Once you know the size, these people should be able to help out:

Anyone having trouble, I would encourage to follow the instructions step by step and follow the maxim "measure twice, cut once".

Great info Bluey! it amazes me how much knowledge we have in this club with even the little things, I like the fact you can get new yoke nuts in Purple! Priceless!

[Abe]

Thanks for that photo "Shiney" (one of the Dave's and Duncan gang) of the steering yoke. As can been seen and is noted by Bluey the Ram mounted purchase WILL NOT fit this configuration.  Also, the brake reservoir actually goes under the screen (close) when on full left lock.  Thanks all for the input but the Ram mount is on the bottom of the "to do list" at this stage.

Off the spend Streaks money on oil, coolant, brake fluid and anything purple to accessorize the "Sports Demon".

I will try and post this photo later today, BUT,  when I drained the oil out I noticed that in the rear of the viewing glass there is a rubber "o" ring half dislodged.  It does appear to be part of the rubber ring that holds the viewing glass into the casing, if so, is this normal??? .

Cheers for now.

 

[STeveo]

I have seen those 'o' rings dislodged in the sight glass before, but if it is not leaking leave it alone as they can be a pain to replace and seal.


 

[Abe]

Thanks Steveo for the speedy reply, your spot on, its not leaking and I can see it would be a pain in the bum to replace.

Cheers

[Streak]

yep the Ram Mount can stay off the list mate, I am sure you have enough to do 

wonder how many steak sandwichs are going on the expenses list....
