Old Dog, New Tricks

The last length of steel braided line you should have left will have a straight -6AN female fitting on one side while the other end is left open and has a hose clamp attached to it. Thread this line into the leg of the tee fitting that is still left open.

Now is the time to prepare and install the reservoir. Ours is a front brake master cylinder reservoir from an '05 Honda CBR 1000 RR. First we unscrew the cap retaining bolts.

Inside we find what appears to be some kind of cross between a bladder and a gasket which we assume was used on the motorcycle to inhibit fluid from sloshing around. Save the bladder for later.

We decided that while we didn't have a use for the bladder itself we still needed a gasket to seal the reservoir and prevent fluid from spilling everywhere. Go ahead and cut the inside out.

This is all that is necessary to keep to use as a gasket.

Set the gasket inside the cap so it will seal around the edge. Oops, there's that R again.

Plug the barbed fitting on the bottom of the reservoir into the open end of your stainless line.

Put on the cap, add fluid and pat yourself on the back. You're done.
