remove it and replace the line with 2 inches of clear tubing, fill tubing up 3/4 with fluid and cap off with bolt and safety wire. It looks really clean and you really don't need all the fluid in the reservoir its huge.

That sounds pretty cool. Do you have a picture?

that sounds like a great mod. i hate that ugly ass reservoir thing. i would like to have a walkthrough or some pictures, though.

Here's a link with pics from a place that sells them overseas. Looks like a pretty simple DIY project. Just have to work on placement because the exhaust for the 05 and later ZX6RR/636s runs right where a lot of people mount these.

You bet! I have been looking at this set up for awhile now. I just have to figure out the placement of it and all. I will be painting and rebuilding the calipers front and rear as well as installing stainless lines over the next couple of weeks. Maybe I will do this mod as well.

Thanks for the rep.
