      It doesn't 'connect' to anything; it's routed up around the airbox and is held in place with a clip that goes under the upper airbox bolt. It's open to the atmosphere...

        Looks like you have things well underway. Keep at it and you will enjoy the results. You have found the right place to get help, advise, direction, resources, parts or whatever you need. Everyone is so nice.

          Nice looking bike! Steve is correct about that hose, just a vent line.

          If you want to get rid of those bags let me know! I really want some!

                    yeah, after looking at all options, I'm leaning towards machining one out of aluminum...or weld one out of stainless...I bought a used one from Andreass, but it was from a special, and it doesn't fit...would special MC fit on my standard handlebars? Extra cost again...is there any epoxy that would work on that plastic to seal that hole again?

                      The only difference between the special and standard front masters is the 'angle' of the reservoir, and that won't make any functional difference. If you have the time/tools, it is possible to machine one out of aluminum...



                      I patterned this one after a Harley master as that made it more or less 'square' and I was able to use a Harley diaphram under the cover.

                        hey Steve...the picture is a little small, but...how did you seal/attach that reservoir? Did you use original o-ring, and did you have to mill the MC?

                          Cheap fix

                          If your just looking for a cheap fix i have had luck just JB welding the hole and letting it sit and cure good before putting fluid in it. Hope this helps.
