I got the idea from "98streetfighter"? The kid in Nebraska. I think he did something similar. And with the airtech tail, I needed more room under the seat to store things.

All it requires is a longer screw for the master cylinder at the top. A bolt and nut for the reservoir and a short piece of aluminum. I bent mine at a 90 degree angle at the top.

Hi,
yup I have a small carbon fibre jobby sitting spare I was thinking of using but I also wanted to tuck it in further or put a shield near it to protect in a fall. A fall is one thing riding without reat brakes is another cause you just know the fronyt lever is gonna snap / bend/ be unusable
