    I just installed a new master cylinder today on my xb12ss. It's kicks butt! Wondering if I need that big fluid tank on there, or if I can put a smaller one like the rear brake or clutch size? I'll get a rizoma type, but if I can get the small one I'd like it better.. What do ya think ??

    yes you can with no problems but keep an eye on front brake pads and fluid level. as the pads wear the fluid level drops and as you decrease reservoir size the drop becomes more noticeable.

    Here is the GSG reservoir I just put on my Nissin radial m/c. I can give you the details if you are interested in one. GSG makes a bracket that fits just right, too:). You can order them through Irfan at http://www.whaccessories.com/. He's great to deal with!
