Converting 04 R to 03 S tail and hit a snag...

[antrobmar]

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to put my 03 S tail on my 04 R. However, I don't know what to do with the Brake reservoir. What did everyone else do with this when converting an R to S tail?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you shorten the line to put it there?

My R reservoir does not have the same mounting as what you show in your pics. The mounting hole on my R reservoir is on the bottom and not on the side. What year is your reservoir from?

There are two options if you shorten it like the picture above an important note is the resivour is different on an S than R so you need te S resivour. Another idea as I did for a while was to just keep the stock length hose and resivour and routed it up next to the battery.

i used the r res and mounted it in front of the bat. its a pain inthe ass to cram it alii in there but you dont need to buy the s res and you dont see it.

Thanks everyone,

I just could not seem to find any space in the '03 S tail for my rear brake reservoir. I tried looking at your pics but just couldn't seem to make it work correctly. I have ordered the S reservoir from Harley which was only $10. Hopefully I will get it next week.

Thanks again for your quick responses.

I originally used a custom bracket to mount my r reservoir in the stock s position, I never shortened the line though and it bothered me so I bought an s set up. I can't find a picture but it was a basic L bend in a piece of scrap metal that I cut to fit in that spot. and then mounted.
