Default Relocating Front Stock Brake Res.

Since crashing my stock Clip-ons, I decided to buy a set of WoodCraft Clip-ons. I'm running a Brembo M/C and Stock Res, and Stock Res Perch. My Problem, The Brake Res will no longer reach the M/C nipple. Okay I know all I have to do is buy longer tubing (but the distance creates an extreme bend, and kinks the tube. Does anyone have any pics of their track bike set up(brake side)? Im thinking I might need to fab up some kind of bracket or something. I just want to see how some of you guys did it. Any ideas/pics would be great.

I am using a stock setup on my R6, but I have seen different homemade angled brackets on other bikes. It seems that it is the only way to get it where it needs to go.

Just buy the small brembo 45cc reservoir. Then you can mount it anyway you need it to be. The stock res. is too large. There's no way you'll need that much fluid.

No kinks in my hose. Exact same set-up. Woodcraft clip-ons. Brembo with stock resi. I just bought an extra piece of hose and zip-tied in place.

You may have to save the pic and blow it up.
