Default Brake Reservoir

Has anyone ever seen or used a transparent brake fluid reservoir? I'd like to be able to see the fluid level.

Matco makes one. I bought one, but decided to go with the individual reservoirs on the master cylinders.

I you want a good deal on it give me a PM.

Go to your local motorcycle shop and take a look at the many kinds that they use.

Default Even cheaper...

...my Air Tractor uses an old VW Beetle clear plastic reservoir from the factory, mounted on the lower instrument panel, so you can see it in flight even

Go visit a junkyard,
