Just move 'em farther underneath. I have it mounted on a bracket that I mad that connects to the bolt that holds the triple to the forks

Re: more comfort in a hc???
Well, be a normal person and put it on the bottom?

As far as pressure, I've never had a problem..

dude. you have to bleed your whole system with someone holding the resivour on top. once its ll bled out, overflow it then seal the system. once the system is sealed you wont lose pressure no mater where your resivours are.

yeah overflow it. if you have one little air pocket in the res. it will push to the highest point in the system ( at that point the master) and youll lose em.
Just keep it super full and youll be fine. stay on top of it.


and i dont know, thats too far in the future for me to know what im doing..lol
