The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

I finally decided that I hated the way the rear reservoir was mounted. I did some searches and although I liked the way rphazen has done his here's what I came up with:
First I removed the entire bracket and chrome cover(I use a Roadstar reservoir cover) I have. Next I simply bored out the mounting holes for the reservoir and the cover to the same size as the bolts that mounted the bracket. After looking through my spare parts I found a longer bolt the same diameter, placed a rubber spacer between the right edges of the reservoir and the cover, and bolted into place. So I was able to remove this:

I probably need to go back and cover the line with braided cable but for now it will do. I love free mods!

looks pretty damn good to me. nice work man keep it up!!

It looks much cleaner, but I think if the reservoir were black it would be less visible.[]

sweet, shedding weight = more available power for ligament shredding acceleration.

Nice free mod!

Excellent!![]

looks good !!!

Excellent MOD it is now on my to do list.

Looks good, I like the chrome cover.

Looks sweet! Did you have to cut back the line ?

You don't have to cut the line but it is a tad long. I plan on cutting the line, covering it with braided, and painting the reservoir black when I have more time.

cool, thanks! I know what I'm doing tonight....certainly not my wife.

Yes! Straight forward and to the point. Excellent mod and almost to simple to screw up. It is on the top of my list. Thanks!

Great mod.Got the chrome cover and bolt,need to find the rubber spacer and I will be good to go.Any ideas on spacer location?

The spacer goes between the cover and the reservoir itself of the right side. This cover isn't designed for this reservoir and when you line them up with the hole in the frame there is a gap between the two. I used the spacer so I could tighten the nut and get pressure but still keep them aligned.
