Brake fluid reservoir with label?

On the fuel tank, Oldjapanesebikes covers all the decal locations at his site.

The problem is, after 40 years its hard to write everything in stone with no firm original documented evidence. If your research shows one common theme, you can only base your findings on that until more evidence becomes available.
Ian has been as thorough as possible with his own research, and with help from many oficionados of the GTs, myself included.
Even I though I'd covered a lot and had it down as a firm point on many items, only to keep coming across something (new) to have my confirmations changed.
For example the most recent finding for me is the label on the alternator cover, I'd never seen a decal on one, all I've seen are an aluminum plate kept on with two little brass pins.
Now I've come across a decal type, that throws out the previous concept that all had the little plates.
Back to your question, there does not seem to be any evidence showing the brake fluid label on 74 or earlier fuel tanks, but there was one specific type that was fitted to the top of the front master cylinder cap on the 74s.
73s did not carry it as the cap is different and 72s had drums, however there are what we refer to as transition bikes.
These are bikes that fall into two categories, ones getting items added in the factory before they should, as the previous model stock ran out, or the ones having old stock thats still on the assembly line getting put on to use it up, on a later model.
I have two of those "left overs" bikes so it was a common practise if I was able to get two of them.
Does your 74 model have such a round label on the master cylinder cap? Its not like the black and silver ones found on the 75 to 77 models.

I wouldn't know where warning labels go. That's the very first thing I removed from every bike I owned!!!

I really do despair of those who are so anal that they need to 'comply' with worthless crap like this.
Just get on the bike and ride it. That's what they were designed for.
Intercourse the stupid labels that were mis-spelled in any case.

Why condemn someone for wanting to restore a bike to high standards. You and I repair our bikes to look and ride nice, but we know there are things not from showroom standards. I show my bikes where some have no fuel and are never started, they are pushed to the show line, and back to the trailer again, that is not my thing but I do appreciate seeing them.

Wow...Really? Don't fret Neville as many, if not most, folks on this site totally understand and respect your desire to restore your bike....as you choose. A few, like this buffoon, should learn some basic manners. Ignore him and carry on! Lot's of great folks willing to help you out.

What I said still goes. Get on with the important stuff like building and riding.
Bikes that aren't complete at shows, should be judged as such and not even judged if they don't start, run and everything work as it should. Might as well just look at a picture in a catalogue.
Anyone can do pretty, most of the rest of us on here can do practical.
I think it's your manners that need the attention, not mine.

Well, having just shared this thread with several of my vintage riding buddies they all were in disbelief someone new to this forum would be treated so poorly by someone with 1700+ posts. But, the nicest of these gentleman said, "hey, maybe that guy was just having a bad day...if he's a decent guy he'll realize he was way out of line and apologize to the new guy." I guess the operative word was "if."

Alan ,you misunderstand when I said they are pushed to and from the show line, they are 100% complete restored to high standard bikes, not parts bikes.
When I show my bikes, I do it for the enjoyment of showing, not to win anything, in fact most of the shows are not judged.
I get much enjoyment from seeing high standard bikes, even if I don't do them myself. So let everyone do what they want and not to your standards.

Yea I doubt very much that he is a decent guy so it's a very BIG if and I just put him in the dickhead basket and was going to ignore him

Good. Help will always be available elsewhere.

Each to their own Karl. Nice to look at sure, but the show ponies that aren't complete - yes, I've seen them too - aren't worth the 'effort' of looking at them. They are made to be ridden, enjoyed and maybe frighten yourself a little occasionally. It really annoys me when people look at bikes and then moan about a wrong bolt/bulb/decal/whatever when they don't have anything of their own. You show yours and I wish you well, put please, get out there and ride it, the other traffic is crap we know, but that's what it's really about.

Given this is the restoration section of the board (so restoration related questions are kind of expected right ? ) - the 1974 model was a transition year and while it did have the brake warning label on the reservoir cap at least initially, I have yet to find proof they later had the standard foil label on the tank. One would think it would be the same as the M, and I have managed to locate one period photo of an M clearly showing the label in the same location as on the A and the B. Hope that helps !

1st post 'I want', then further questions and doubts of what you are told without a please or thankyou.
No intro or anything polite and you then call people names.
Personally, I appreciate politeness and a bit of decorum.
Try it, it doesn't hurt. You may get more help then.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be in ecstasy.
End of subject.
