Re: Horn Dawg Brake Reservoir Mod

[Mark Collett <yzf1k@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Too bad I can't sneak something like that onto our 3x machine at work. 
Well maybe I could, we've got aluminum billet just sitting around.  Just
couldn't make any in any volume!  Such a shame, all this power and the
inability to use it for cool bike stuff. The other day I drew up an ST
swingarm, wheel and a Michelin tire as solid models.  Uhh, it's
practice!  Makes a really cool background...

Joe, how about a picture of your mod?
