if you ride in a neighborhood or off road, you need to use a muffler, they act as spark arrestors, if you live in a neighborhood, you are doubling your odds that your neighbors will get tired of the noise of you running up and down their road, which results in cops telling you to park it...

if it has a on engine charging system, get it fired up with a pull start and put a voltmeter on it. do you have a battery part number? if you are "pretty sure" its a 6v system, why did you put a 12V battery on it. u can burn up the charging system, coil, starter, lights... if you can't...

these are clutch m/c not brake added- love the trailer brake m/c idea, what do they cost?

its pretty close to that 4", I dont have it in front of me right now but its worth going and having a measure at a parts store. the one I got is branded powertorque at oreilly's. pn# cm1203 another one that might be closer, a 1985's nissan pickup has a different style reservoir that didn't have...

2002 Toyota Camry has a remote barb but no res for 32.99 around here.

per say, no badot, but most motorcycle m/c are for 1 caliper, I am running 2 in the back in my new layout, so a little more fluid moving will keep my pedal travel good... oh yeah, and price and availability! if you want a remote reservoir setup, there are a couple that already have the hose...
