DS250: What was CanAM thinking…

The oil reservoir for the rear brake was hit by a rock or some type of debris and crack. Why would CanAM put a plastic oil reservoir just inches away from a tire that is designed to toss mud, sand, stones, and whatever else at it? Why. Maybe it was to save them a couple dollars on hose. Anyways…

Aside from fixing it, I relocated it to a place it should have been from the factory. All I needed to do was purchase 2 feet of 5/16 hose (that will hold up to brake fluids) and a couple clamps. The exact replacement reservoir was $14 on ebay. Do yourself a favor if your bike sees a lot of mud’n and relocate it. I attached a couple photos.
