Broken Clutch Reservoir Bracket anyone?

Clive · Nov 18, 2020

Haven't heard of anyone getting this - maybe it's not worthy of mention compared to cracked yokes and gear change rods but it is another to add to the list. Broke at 10000mile and had to fabricate a replacement with smaller holes to strengthen. Probably knock a second or so off my 0-60 with the extra weight

Hey Clive, nice job indeed - have not heard of this bracket failing before. I reckon that must be worth a good 5 Seconds! Possibly, maybe, perhaps!!

Looking to do the same myself so that I can position a Rizoma clutch resevoir exactly where I want it. The front brake resevoir will mount nicely on the original bracket. Is your bracket straight 3mm ally plate?

Thanks, Steve.

Yes 3mm alloy - would have liked to use stainless but if this one lasts a bit longer than 3 years and 10000miles that's fine. Just did this to get back on the road- I will be making a modified one to support my excellent tyre pressure monitor.

Wondering if I'm going to get a letter from Norton's lawyers for reverse engineering......

They can only accuse you of copying if it breaks !

... and there will be a break clause in the contract, of course.....

Mines just busted, using a new "temp" tie

had a mate that can weld have a crack at stitching it together, reckons its made from melted down pots n pans as the shitiest alloy he's ever worked with lol !! who'd have thunk it !!

Anyone have any aftermarket ideas as my extensive search has returned nothing, I have some files just avoiding the fabbing it myself approach

This is a pretty easy part to make - its not dimensional critical and doesn't need any fancy tools you should be able to find a mate to do this for a couple of beers - five years on and my uprated replacement is still going strong.

Rizoma do several types - pricey but top quality. Google ‘Rizoma brake resevoir mounting’.

This is the one that I fitted.

Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade the whole brake/clutch resevoir setup. Cos……… why not!
