Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir - same as FJR?

[markjenn]

Hi, when I pickup my bike I'd like to fit a radar detector for a long tour I plan on taking home. For my FJR, I use an aftermarket mounting plate that bolts to the front brake master cylinder cover. It appears the S10 might use the same master cylinder and would have the same spacing of the screw holes but I can't find anybody who has published fiche for the S10 yet to see if the master cylinder part nos. are the same. Anybody with both an FJR and S10 care to confirm they're the same (or at least have the same cover/screw spacing)?

Thanks,

Answering my own question (and documenting for posterity), the master cylinders (or at least the cap with the two screw holes) are the same between the bikes, so any master cylinder acc platform which uses the two cap screws should work the same on both the S10 and FJR. (I realized that I had a PDF of the S10 parts catalog which has the part nos.)

Good to know Mark. I'm using different ram mounts but may want to use this in future. IIRC, the levers on both sides are also interchangable with FJRs. I may go with the cheap Chinese knockoffs for about $40 in the future--tried them on one bike and can't tell the difference from expensive Pazzo levers that I have on my ST1300.

I may go knockoffs too - the guy buying my FJR likes my Pazzos so I'm not going to be able to steal this back at sale time. Let us know what you end up with and how they fit.
