I ran into issues with where to put the rear brake reservoir when I was fiddling around with my pregen and raising the pegs. I ended up deleting the rear brake light switch to make room for the reservoir. You don't need it so long as you have something that has the brake fluid in it. I like this setup quite a bit since it allows for more freedom of movement though I'm more worried about the reservoir splitting in a crash and pouring brake fluid all over the track screwing everyone else over. It can be used for street as well but there isn't really any advantage there that I can think of other than looking sleeker.

I have, but that was while trying to turn the pregen into a track bike, something that I'm not really done with yet.
