The good advice given to me applies to you as well - you should replace the ugly brown PS reservoir for one of the polished Forge units as it currently sticks out like a sore thumb.
Thank you. Thank you very much!

Save yourself the time and money and just buy the Forge PS resevoir. It will match perfectly.

Son of a bitch.. just looked at the Forge site and ordered one. Damn you!

The cap on my stock tank sweats like crazy no matter how tight i make it. The o-ring has gotta be shot. I cut out a gasket by hand that worked great for about a year, but it shrunk from all the oil exposure also!

I was holding out to find one of those nifty clear topped tanks from the early 968, but man they are tough to find!

I installed the hoses a couple weeks ago(Black). I had some issues with the thicker walls on the LR hoses. Most notably over the beside the oil filter. Has anyone else had this problem with these hoses?
I'll try and snap some pics.
