DescriptionThe whole story▼
Fitting a billet tank to a CBR500R starts with deciding where it goes. That is the OBT008: a 10 g bracket measuring 60.6 mm in height and 90.3 mm in projection. One finish only: black, as LighTech supplies it. On a 471 cc machine like the CBR500R it is the cheapest cockpit change available.
Key Features
- Steel-free so nothing corrodes into the CBR500R fitting
- 60.6 mm in height, 90.3 mm of projection
- Black anodised — LighTech makes this bracket in no other finish
- The front bracket of the pair
- It is the cheapest visible change on a CBR500R
- Laser-marked with the LighTech logo
Where the Reservoir Ends Up
Two brackets exist for a reason: height and projection differ front to rear. The OBT008 sets the reservoir at 60.6 mm height with 90.3 mm of projection. One bracket per reservoir — the CBR500R needs the tank ordered alongside.
In the Workshop
The OBT008 replaces an existing part on the CBR500R rather than adding one. Check steering lock on the CBR500R once the tank is in place. Nothing on the CBR500R is drilled or cut.
Application
This listing covers the Honda CBR500R, 2016 to 2026. It is an adaptable bracket, not a Honda part — measure the space on the CBR500R first.
Scope of Delivery
The OBT008 is supplied as a single bracket with its fasteners. LighTech keeps it as a stock item.
Care and Checks
Vibration finds every loose fastener on the CBR500R eventually. The OBT008 needs no maintenance of its own beyond that.
Before You Order
The OBT008 is a bracket and nothing else. The tank — OBT001, OBT006 or OBT007 — is a separate article. Ask us and we will pair it with the right reservoir for your CBR500R.
Approval Status
Replacing a reservoir touches the brake system of the CBR500R, not just its appearance. LighTech supplies no type-approval document with the OBT008, and we make no approval claim for it. Road use on the CBR500R means two steps: clarify it beforehand, test it afterwards.
