Has anyone found a shorter bracket that moves the oem front brake reservoir lower and closer to the master cylinder. Because of how long the bracket is, it's hitting my track fairings when turning the bars. It's a cramped dash space and hoping to declutter it a bit. I've bent and angled the bracket as much as I can to make it operable, but is there a better option?

I think some folks mount them directly to the triple clamp.

Those look like fancy replacement brackets for the OEM mounts.

What master cylinders / fairings are you using?

Yeah, we just drilled and threaded a hole into the front edge of the upper triple clamp a bit off-center so that we could mount the Reservoir above where the steering damper is and well out-of-the-way of the fairings, I’ll post some pics later

Please do. Thanks!
 
can you not bend the bracket gently so it clears the fairing?
 
What bp recommended is what race teams I’ve seen use. There’s also one made by Palmer Performance that I heard about if you’re in Europe. Same design.
 
Brembo RCS bracket mounts the reservoir in pretty much the exact same spot. Close to fairing.

As long as they clear the fairing that's fine. I would spend a bit more time adjust whichever bracket you use to get the reservoir to sit flat and square when the bike is upright on a stand. the difference between just sticking something on and actually fitting it

I recall that OPP Racing sells the Brembo RCS brackets. I bought them and the later model fluid reservoirs. Still had to monkey with the clutch bracket. And I'll probably Ceracote them black later this fall.
