I installed the G-Craft rear reservoir this afternoon. Installation was a snap, even with directions printed in Chinese!

Here are the BEFORE pics:

Again, the install was painless, and went as follows:


Remove passenger footpeg (to get to the stock reservoir bolt)
Remove heel guard for easy access to everything
Remove stock reservoir (one bolt) and drain brake fluid
Disconnect stock fluid line from back (not top) of the master cylinder
IMPORTANT: Remove the o-ring from the stock fluid line assembly and reuse it on the new G-Craft reservoir
Install G-Craft reservoir onto master cylinder
TEST FIT HEEL GUARD (SEE NOTE BELOW)
Fill G-Craft reservoir
Re-install passenger peg
Test brakes and bleed if required


HEEL GUARD NOTE: When I test fit the heel guard, it was rubbing hard against the side of the reservoir. I simply flattened out the heel guard and everything worked fine. You may or may not have the same problem, especially if you're using aftermarket rearsets.

This is what you get when you order the G-Craft reservoir:

Here's a pic during the install:

Here are the AFTER pics:

Overall, I'm very pleased.

Next on the list is the removal of the three little brackets... which will really help make this small transformation complete.
