I knackered my reservoir at the beginning of January, and today being pay day I would like to get it sorted.

The original reservoirs seem to be a bit like hens teeth so I'm wondering if there is an easy swap?

I put EXUP 1000 calipers and master cyl on mine. You could (almost) bend the forks with those suckers! Calipers bolt straight on, dual piston instead of sliding pin type.

If EXUP1000 callipers fit then so should R1 blue spots. Now they will bend the forks!

Found out through the divvy forum that bluespots do fit, not compatible with the divvy master though so need to find an easy swap for that.

I suspect your OE master will work with blue spots. Worked fine on a fj1200 with its original master.

MandP sell pattern master cylinders that will work fine.
