I’ve seen the aluminum reservoir mounts break on many bikes. The problem isn’t the aluminum mount, it’s goon hands adjusting the position. Could be dealer “tech” or rider fists. When adjusting(bending) the mount to get the reservoir in the “best” position, many people just grab and bend. It bends at the weakest point at the lightening holes and you create a stress point where the aluminum surface is fractured. That’s where it breaks every time.

The fix is a new mount and smart(er) “adjusting” by making all tweaks at the base or in the lower solid section of the mount.

The only defect is in the people who touch it.

I know the reservoir cops a lot of shaking around and vibes but is this a common thing? Had no tools and was in the middle of nowhere so had to use a mates leatherman to bend the broken ends out of the way of damaging anything and zip tie it up.
