Bit of an odd one, The bike I bought has a different set of handlebars fitted, this resulted in the brake reservoir being mounted with the worlds flimsiest toffee metal circlip type rubbish and being finished off with electrical tape to the wing mirror stalk.

I need to get hold of a suitable bracket or fashion something to mount it to the handlebars securely. Anyone know anything I can buy off the shelf that has a good chance of doing the job, or know a way around this minor problem?

Cheers Karma

Should add, the bars are approx 22mm, not got the micrometers here Laughing

You might find something suitable at your local electrical wholesaler - like a 'Saddle Clamp' for 22mm conduit, or a 'P' Clip as used on armoured cable.

Bit the bullet and ordered one of these to try https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002856TO6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 as I was purchasing another item.

Cheers for the suggestions, may still help if the bracket is of no use Thumbs Up
