So I have always preferred the look of the rectangular metal fluid reservoirs that are integrated into the master cylinder of some bikes over the cheapy looking plastic ones..

I have found a matched set off of a blackbird on ebay for reasonable (not free but not pure gold either) and wondered if they would work on our bike.. I am more worried about the clutch, as I can replace the calipers if needed on the brake side.

So does this work? I know I have seen an 05 VTR at a dealership with something similar done to it, I am not positive if this was stock or a mod, but it had better looking parts on it.

 

So I take it no one knows if this swap is possible or advisable?

 

The later model VTR's 05-> had those as stock... So there is no reason why it shouldn't work...
