Looking on the bright side, you've not missed much of the summer yet
I'm sure it will all be worth it once finished.
At least you do have the VFR if the weather should suddenly drop into summer mode

Been riding through winter except when snow on road.
Remember riding along Buxton with snow piled high on road sides!
Am missing the storm now though!

If it is for a road bike, you might want to put a couple of drain holes in the bottom so it doesn't fill up with water if you get caught in the rain.
If it's a track bike, never mind.......
Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

Have used them in the past with no problems. Way round any sweating though is a tiny vent hole in the cap.
The original reservoir looks too busy against my stainless battery box.
