Moron on ebay

[beermaker]

ok - the bike is rebuilt (nose needs respraying still but that can wait) everything else works, is bolted on and the bike runs like a bugger. I bought a front brake reservoir on ebay, for a fiver. It's the last part I need for the MOT. I bought it LAST F***ING MONTH!!! IT STILL HASN'T ARRIVED!!! Ok, I've been soft - I gave chances. I've emailed, I've texted, I've called up. I've listened to various excuses. I've had enough. I know it's only a fiver but it's the delay and the inconvenience that boils my p*ss! I could have had the bike tested weeks ago if I hadn't been messed around by this moron. I've requested a refund and I'm back in the market again.

Ok, I'm going to breathe again!

quick question - what other bikes use the same or similar reservoir? Not having a right lot of luck finding one. Sourced a res and front master for £15 plus a fiver p&p but it's only the res that I need

Surely the reservoir doesnt matter too much as long as there is sufficient amount of fluid in it?

[beermaker]

yeah, I'm coming to that opinion myself! The front brakes work fine, but obv not good practice to ride with no reservoir attached! Found some aftermarket Brembo ones on Demon Tweeks for £9 - they're bottom entry ones but I can make it fit!

On the plus side - I hid in the shed from the kids for 10 mins and vented my frustrations on the end can with some rag and T-Cut and it looks rather spiffing if I do say so myself!!

top stuff- shiney
as for the ebay i would bang in a paypal claim. i give people 1 chance only and if they dont make contact then a paypal dispute will go in. maybe a bit harsh but i have enough contact with dickheads every day so i dont need online muppets as well.

I emailed him this morning with a demand for cash and he gave me back my fiver ) just going to order the brembo one from Demon Tweeks now - simple twist of the pipe going to the master cylinder should convert it from side feed to bottom feed

As for end can - very shiny but still a bit scuffed. Bit more shed time tomorrow with 1200 grit wet and dry and some soapy water should remove them and then more t-cut followed by some farecla or autosol should get it like a mirror!

Pretty sure the ZXR750 reservoir is identical.

Top stuff, cheers for the tip Tirpitz!

End can polishing will have to wait - the missus has taken the kids to their swimming lesson so i'm sat with the nipper watching cbeebies. Its not all bad though - the red head on big city park is well worth a second look!! Woof!!
