Are there any drawbacks to this type of mount on the clutch reservoir? I'm looking to purchase this one.

Very good mount but get ready for a visit to the hardware store (none of the 3 pairs of screws coming with the Ram are matching the threads on the Spyder clutch reservoir).

Do you know the thread size and length they should be?

I think Can_Am uses metrics

Does anyone use this mount and know the thread size?

I'm sure he'll answer for himself--or you may want to send him a pm--but Director has this set up:

Love mine, just need to get the proper screws.
Took my screws into ACE, they made it work.

I just took one of the screws from the existing clutch reservoir cover to a local fastener store and asked for a couple of screws with the same pitch but a little longer. I kind of guesstimated what I needed, so I can't tell you the exact size, but screws are dirt cheap, so you could get a few lengths and try them out. The critical part is to make sure the thread pitch is compatible. The mount works like a charm.:thumbup:
