    but my $20 "lie-zoma" brake reservoirs that I bought from China to save $250 on the real thing are steadily turning into cottage cheese because surprise! Chinese scammers don't use brake-fluid-proof plastic in their products. So that's a drag.

KB, why would you do this to yourself? There are some things you should not cheap out on, and the things that are between you and the ground (Beds, shoes, and motorcycles for example) are some of those things.

To be fair, the brake fluid reservoirs are not critical components. They're not under pressure, they just provide extra fluid in the event of a leak, which are extremely uncommon.

Unless you buy Chinese reservoirs.
