Friendly to mods, tough on mechanics
[How is it used?
. at least as of August 19, 2019, and from the time of installation until October 8, 2023.
Mileage is at least 30,000 km
Mainly touring and occasional city driving circuit
Used with the same mounting bolt and location as OEM Fluid Tanks
Fluid used is active 4.0 and 5.1 (https://www.webike.net/sd/24038239/, https://www.webike.net/sd/24515708/)
Was the one you received as per Image?
As shown in the image, as shown in the Image.
Was the installation difficult?
Since the work was done with all Brake fluid removed, it was easy to remove the OEM, pull out the hose, cut it, attach it, and put the product on. The only hassle was that we had to bleed the air after that.
With the introduction of Rear Sets, we did not want to relocate the Tank, but we did not want to put the load of forcibly bending the Hose.
While other tanks have the hose outlet slanted directly down or toward the mounting bolt, this product, although slightly slanted, can be freely rotated 360 degrees for installation, allowing the hose to be installed in its OEM position with no waste and no load on the hose.
How was your experience with it?
It seemed to have the same capacity as the OEMTank, and there was no blowout when the pad was pushed back in the brake maintenance.
The Tank itself is not secured in any way other than being pinched, but it does not rotate or come off unexpectedly in any way.
I was concerned about heat in the center of the body, but no deformation or cracks have occurred yet.
The Fluid level is very difficult to check without any parts because there are parts that are sandwiched around the tank compared to a normal tank. When checking the Fluid level, it was necessary to illuminate it with the light of a Smartphone (Pixel 7 Pro) from the back. However, I don't remember checking it when it was transparent, so I don't know if it is the case with transparent Fluid.
[Included Parts:were they on?
I think I replaced the hose with a KIJIMA hose, and the hose clamp with a K-Con, but I have no record or memory of it, so I can't describe it.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I originally wanted a hose exit diagonally opposite to the mounting bolt. Since the wish was fulfilled, there is no need for installation.
What was unexpected was that the remaining Fluid amount was too hard to see as it was, so it would have been nice if there had been a warning note, even though it is possible to imagine to some extent.
This is the only product that allows the user to freely select the hose outlet, but the mechanism used to achieve this makes it difficult to check the remaining Fluid level.
I think this product is friendly to vehicles and modifiers, such as reducing the load on the hose. However, for those who perform maintenance (visual check of fluid level), the product is not so friendly as it requires one step of illuminating the product with a light.

Example of installation on NISSIN Rear master cylinder
It is an option for GALE SPEED Master Cylinder, but I wanted to extend the M8 push rod of Nisshin's tank-integrated rear master cylinder a little, so I bought it as a trial and was able to install it since the pitch, etc. were the same.
However, it is a little long as it is, so the push rod on the Master Cylinder side of the consumable is cut off and adjusted.
The Rear Sets are a type of Rear Master Sets that can be used to move the Rear Master, which is very helpful when you want to replace the Master Cylinder with another brand product, because it allows you to expand the adjustment range of the Push Rod.
It would have been nice if it were a little less expensive if possible, but it may be a gratifying Parts to create at One-off.

Maybe Coating makes it rust resistant.
I heard that the Pivot pin of Gail's Wire Clutch Holder is prone to rust, so I installed this Pivot pin, which is coated with the Option.
When I put them side by side with the pin that comes with the clutch holder, I thought there was only a difference in the coating, but they also seem to be made a little differently.
As for the material, I think it is the same iron since they both stuck to the magnet equally well, but I think the one with GoldCoating is more resistant to rust.
I installed it, but since the logo is not red like the Elaborate, I felt that the gold was a little too assertive, so I decided to return to the original BlackPin and replace it when it rusts.
It would be good if the color of the Pivot pin on the Brake Side was also matched, but since we chose Black for the Brake Side as well, it seems like it is the only place on the Brake Side.
I was wondering if there is an option to use SUS instead of Titanium, like KOHKEN's Black coatPin….

Gold color Pivot pin
[How is it used?
Installed and traveled about 200 km.

Was the installation difficult?
Simply loosen and replace the Pivot pin and Nut.
However, GALE SPEED's Wire Clutch Holder has a very thin washer between the holder and lever, and I almost lost it when the washer collapsed. The Pivot Pin of the early equipment seemed to be coated with Locktite and was a little hard to loosen. Early Pivot pins had bearings on the lever side and did not seem to be coated with Grease. When installing the ultra-thin washer, I applied a small amount of grease to the lever side and stuck it on while inserting the pivot pin.
How was your experience with it?
The feel is the same, but the Brembo master side has also been changed to Gold-colored Pivot, so the Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I am very happy with the matching look.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Pin only.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None
A word of caution...do not lose your ultra-thin Washer.

Fashion [Color] SmokeTank
It was installed at the same time when the Gale MASTER was replaced.
[Color] The Handlebar area looks nice and tight because it is Smoke.
I like that the fixed part can be rotated to produce the Hose at any angle I want.

It is very parenthesis to keep it as a decoration.
It looks very good integrated with the Rear master.
I mean, why is it sold separately?:It's like, "Leave it to Set.
I removed it because I now have Thumb brakes installed... is that what you mean?

Buy at the same time as Gale MASTER
I bought this at the same time as GALE SPEED's Elabo RateMODEL and Brake master cylinder.
Previously, the top-of-the-line model of the same brand "Elabo Rate. I bought the Clutch of I fell in love with its operability and high functionality and decided to buy it this time. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I have not been able to replace it yet.
The color of the tank is White, which is often seen, and the recent models have started to come with a standard [Color] Smoke is now on lineup. I'm going to [Color] I bought Smoke. Whatever. [Color] I've heard a rumor that the SmokeTank is designed to mitigate the degradation of the brake fluid caused by direct UV radiation, but I'm not sure if that's true or not, and in my case I chose it because it looks cool.
Also, it is a good point that the position of Tank Bracket can be shifted without putting stress on Tank and Hose. Also, I think it's a good point that the opening of the Hose is thin, so the air can escape easily.

have one's hands tied behind one's back
The feature of this tank is that the outer circumference of the bracket and the tank body are different parts and the tank turns.
Thanks to this structure, there is a high degree of freedom and it is possible to use the MASTER and the QUANTITY without straining the hose.:Can be set.
If you want to customize the Fluid, it is difficult to use the Tank.
If you put Red Fluid in this, it will be like Motorcycle blood and the tension will be increased.

GALE SPEED Pivot
This pivot is made quite nice. Increase the aesthetics of the product. It is not made of titanium but I like it. I wish it was made of titanium View detail
With the same Manufacturer !!
Gail's Master cylinder - I bought it with Gail's Oil tank, so why not !!. Hose was not so hard either, so I had no problems with handling, so I think whether 10 cm is enough.
Since it is a sale only of Hose, it is necessary to purchase Clip! Use bremboType Hose clip (φ10) Size is perfect.

GALE SPEEDGALE SPEED Oil tank
I am using it for RCS.
I hope for the first time with Small.
I bought this, not the brembo OEM, I got it.
I liked handling well as well.
When bleeding out, this Small stuff is troublesome

Also after attachment, I can move a Tank and think that it is very good. A Fluid merely hides in a belt portion by the cause, and quantity is incomprehensible.Although it is not that the amount of Fluids decreases so ...
