Who makes an aluminum front brake reservior. I have seen a very nice looking model that has an Italian sounding name something like Rizono, but I do not remember the exact name. If any of you know the brand name please pass it along. :???:

It's Rizoma. They make 2 styles - a tall skinny one and a short wide one. They also come in a bunch of different colors. I ordered one for my S3 from PJ's about a week and a half ago and still haven't heard when I'll receive it.

Yes, seems everyone's getting either the Rizoma (and yes, PJ's seems like the best source - got VERY good service from him a few months back on one - PJ's)

Or some people like the one from Hooligan Racing - their site seems to be down, but here's their product line:

Andhedrew, you might give PJ a call - as I said, he's usually VERY good at getting back, but emails sometimes go astray. I had sent him my number, and he called back late in the evening to catch me at home.

Thanks VinnyF.

I shot PJ an email and it turns out the reservoir had just arrived from Italy. A quick PayPal payment and it was in the mail. Should receive it today or tomorrow! If I get it installed I'll shoot you a pic or two alien.

pics?

I've got it but haven't had a chance to put it on. Been on family vacation for the last week. Have to work the next 3 days but will try to sneak out to the garage when my wife isn't looking!

I've got it on but haven't had a chance to take pics yet. I'm actually at work right now... my wife just called to say that my Trident exhaust was delivered this morning so I think she is resigned to the fact that I'll be working on my bike tonight. Will try to get some pics then!

Sorry it took so long Alien... It's been tough finding time to work on the bike. Here are a couple a' pics of the Rizoma reservoir installed.

You will see that I nearly destroyed the "screw" or whatever the heck it is when I installed it. There must be a special tool to get that piece off. I eventually had to get some pliers and go to town causing all kinds of damage. Oh well...

looks really good, I might have to get one. What all is involved on the install?
