Chrome Reservoir Cover

Another dark area on the 1300 is the front brake master cylinder reservoir. Singing the praises of chrome, Kuryakyn came to my rescue again. This simple, yet gorgeous, piece of bling is among the easiest frills to install on the bike. It consists of a cover which completely encases the top and all sides of the master cylinder, and Kuryakyn provides a replacement handlebar clamp as well as chromed hardware neatly packaged in protective wrap. The best part of this cover is that the view window is still visible.

To install: remove the master cylinder screws from the reservoir's lid using a quality Phillips screwdriver. Do NOT remove the lid itself, just the screws. These screws are made of very soft metal, and they strip easily, which is why extra caution should be exercised when removing them. Next, place the new chrome housing over the master cylinder and oem black lid. Use the provided chrome hardware to secure the new housing. Finally, remove the oem black clamp and replace with the chrome clamp and hardware. You're done - go ride! Much better on the eyes, and not too heavy on the pocketbook.
