They run hot, and have a seam in an odd place. It's been frustrating and the answer is to buy a new one. Yours could be different... fingers crossed for you

Anything else presenting an issue for you (other than cosmetic?)??
nah, looking at the reservoir right now... and im on the fence. it'll at least make it to the salvage yard i plan on trecking to today.

Other than the cosmetics, the front right caliper and rotor need replaced. Not RIGHT AWAY, but before i do any serious riding.

Repair what you can, modify some, and buy used on the rest.
Trip found me a guy w/ a bunch of parts, so i'll stick with the internet.

but i've also DL'd tons of service manuals, and have been at it like mcguyver.
