Removed passenger pegs and fabricated a reservoir bracket...

[Randucci]

 I won't be using the rear passenger pegs, so I removed them and fabricated a rear aluminum reservoir mount. I also made a new aluminum spacer bushing for the rubber mount on the reservoir.

 Here are a couple pictures of it installed.

Looks great. It's certainly not going to break...

You should match the elongated hongates in the boot gaurd for asthetics, Just my opinion

 I was thinking of doing something, but those oval shapes would be hard to do in .25" plate. I have a manual milling machine, I was thinking of a few different shapes, but wanted to get the bike back together so I could ride it. It is easily removed if I come up with a design.

You did that on a manual? Nice man. 

[rick]

Yeah, really nice.

 

Maybe just make faux holes with paint - just kidding, don't do that

That would be nice, I am assuming that the boot gaurd was punched out or CNC.  A mill of course would take some time and effort laying it out in a pattern you want and make it look symetrical

I had a little time so I made another bracket and hand cut the oval holes, I think it does look more like a factory bracket now. What do you think?

Great job but if you don't mind a further suggestion there are no sharp corners on the other bracket and despite the fact that it aligns with the brake reservoir i personally think if you rounded them off just a little then it would be perfect. it would look like it had less sharp edges.

 I could put a similar large radius on the two corners, but I want to keep the reservoir alignment. The next time I have it off I might put a small radius on them, we will see.......

I think the solid bracket looks best if you painted it black to match the frame.

 

All respect for making a custom bracket on your own. It's seriously dope.

Ummmmm.... sw-motech makes a bracket to reposition the reservoir. It's cheap, aesthetic, and no hassle. But that's just me. 

[Zephyr]

The bracket looks great, not sure if I would prefer the solid or elongated holes one.  I would certainly prefer it blacked out though.  Kind of makes me ashamed that I just used a piece of heavy gauge pail handle "wire" to relocate my bracket, but it's simple; holds perfectly and is near invisible...

Either one black anodized would be nice. Good work man. 

[sansnombre]

Agreed - for work done on a manual mill, outstanding work.

 

Not sure if I like the holes or solid: with the holes, I think it looks too much like the heel guard and a little too cute/stylish. Maybe in black?

 

Nice work.

[firstyammerha]

that's some neat work-maybe you could connect the holes on the oem guard to read FZ07.JK.  I'd personally like to replace that passenger foot rest with a hand hold type piece so I could heave that monster up on its center stand more easily. A tubular folding hand grip might do the job, screwed into one of the passenger peg bracket holes.
