Definitely a kind offer but I will agree with organdonor, the plastic ones work fine. I've had mine on for over a year, no problems with the reservoir. :upthumb:

I saw a rounded, socket head cap screw in black specifically for filling that hole just don't remember where. It was in this forum somewhere. CRS.

Here it is. Turned out to be the plastic bicycle deals.

Nissn1 - that is BEAUTIFUL! Love the bolt, love the brake resevoir!
For those of us who don't have the time/talent/ambition to construct a bolt like that, we have:

http://www.chromebolt.com/advanced_s...words=m10+1.25

Note that the pictures are not correct (pics show nuts) but the descriptions are correct. I've emailed them to confirm. I haven't dealt with them - yet - and don't know what their minimum order might be, but it looks like a possibility.

Now, about that resevoir...

Check out www.hooliganracing.com for some real nice reservoirs. I think they are nicer than the Rizoma ones, but that's just my O.

bad news....i just got off the phone with the company that i ordered the bolts from --- they had called to inform me that they were unable to fill the order i placed with them because they no longer made the black oxide bolts in that size (aparently its a bit of a weird size.....)


but for those of you that were interested i did find a company that made the size (its just not black).......
i will call them tommorow....

there website is race bolts
sorry guys ...im as dissapointed as you are :???:

Thank's for that link! I've gotten some nice Titanium bits from Tasty Nuts in England, but the exchange rate is a killer!

Anybody got a pair of the factory mirror adaptors they'd like to sell?? I've got the OEM mirrors and no way to mount them..

Dennis Kirk sells 10mm helmet studs - one is lockable. They are advertised to fit in the holes vacated by mirrors. There are also clutch/brake studs that fit the bill. I haven't tried either, but plan to buy a pair. I'll take a pic and post when I do.
