Default Custom ohlins reservoir brackets

So, didn’t like what’s currently on the market only one reservoir system from BBc I didn’t like and way too much money. I bought Howard’s #6s and they are great and he was awesome to work with. But I wanted a bracket that sits lower to the bike and a little farther back. So fired up the cnc machine and cad and made some stuff. Will continue to update as I go. Will be doing a test fit Sunday and will post more pics

I see where you’re going with this. Looks great, you should make extra sets and sell them here...I’m sure they’ll sell well!,
Get a few variable pitch 3 flute Endmills with a wiper facet on the face, it’ll help tremendously with the chatter/surface finish
