New Renthal bars - brake reservoir on a jaunty angle - bad? - Arfa - 21-05-15
Just swapped on some Renthal 758 bars. All good, however the brake reservoir is now on a jaunty angle, leaning in towards the yoke. I was under the impression that this should be kept fairly level. So, am I likely to hit any issues, other than it being a pain to gauge fluid level?

Shouldn't be a problem as when the bike is put on the side stand the standard reservoir can sit at an angle depending on the angle the bars are left turned!

You go round corners at 40+°, brake and occasionally (unintentionally ofcourse) pull wheelies, and your brakes still work.
I'm pretty sure it'll cope if it's got the correct amount of fluid in it.

I have renthals too and it sits at quite an angle, hasn't caused any issues. The only problem I have is my grip hits the fairing on right turns and applies the throttle lol, makes me look a bit of a tool sometimes lol

Out of curiosity, which renthal bars have you fitted? Lower or higher angle?

I've put on the 758 Ultra Low ones. Seem OK, but not been out on bike yet, still got other repairs todo. Compared to stock they are lower and slightly wider.

I had 758 on my 600 without any hassles, they were nice because they were longer than standard.
