I do like the steel nipple fix for the OEM coolant tank. However the stock item is still big, ugly and cumbersome. Here is a TYGA replacement offered by Matt at Formula390 that looks more compact, lighter and damage resistant.

I have gone through 2 coolant overflow reservoirs now. After the last one snapped, i just left it and have not had any problems with losing coolant through the overflow tube even with hard canyon runs and basically hitting the rev limiter in top gear on the freeway. I have continuously monitored the coolant level and it has not gone down over the past 1000 miles. I just have concerns about the "puking" i've read about on the forum. Is anyone else in the same boat where you're just fed up with replacing it and have just left it? Just wondering the results and whether or not it eventually turns into a bigger problem.

I've never had my bike overflow *

I'm also prefer to delete the overflow and just dump things into the belly pan

Brilliant! It's funny how I noticed that mine broke just today, and here is the post!

Excellent solution.

I was coincidentally replacing the fuel filter when mine broke. I cut off the old fuel filter pipe, enlarged the hole in the coolant bottle where the pipe had snapped and just superglued the fuel filter piece in place. No problems since having done this a year ago.

I just drill and tap the reservoir and install a 90 degree plastic fitting. So it doesn't get hit by the battery door... Cheap and easy fix! Lots of customers break theirs and don't even know it until I notice it. There's no pressure on it just atmospheric and coolant thru it if it gets that high and pukes out.

Here we are years later and I broke mine today (while finally installing the PCV I got from you!) and the search function worked! Thanks!
