Ade,
It's for a z1000a2 with the plastic upper fluid reservoir-can they be anodised?
Who can do it round here???

The plastic reservoir should come apart from the master cylinder,it unscrews if yours has the round reservoir.If it is tight i have used an oil filter nylon strap wrench to remove it.

Agree with anodising but if you want a low cost alternative, I used Halfords semi gloss black spray paint, rub down with fine wet/dry paper, thoroughly degrease with thinners then apply 2-3 thin coats, not as durable as anodising but job done for £4 (don't get brake fluid on it). In true jap tradition didn't use primer and finish is spot on. Been on for 3 years now. Same applies to switches and even top yoke, have seen brake calipers done but the finish won't stand up to stones etc so powder coat /anodising better for calipers.

I used black satin alloy wheel paint, good job, cheap as chips, but likewise
DONT
spill fluid on it

FWIW, PJ1 Satin Case Paint seems to resist DOT4 brake fluid.
