    Remote reservoir placement for master cylinder?

    Hey guys,
    So I have replaced my M/C with an SV1000 M/C with the remote res. as my stock one was fucked, it had corroded to nothing, anyways
    so I have the new one here with me, its on the bike and the banjo and brake lines are all on, and the brake light wires are attached and working, all thats left to do is find a home for the reservoir and bleed the cunts,
    Which is the problem.
    This may not be the right topic to post this under but never mind, I thought about placing it where the bolt that goes through the lever is, and using that bolt to just bolt it in, it would be out of the way and still above everything but the problem I face is when I turn the bars to the left, the Res. is about 2cm too tall and wont pass under my screen,

    So im a little stuck on ideas,
    I have added some photos maybe if anyone has any ideas or possible solutions that would be great,
    I was thinking about maybe using one of those mini res. pots but I cant find anyone in Dunedin who has them and I need one ASAP.

    Thought I would do an update!

    I have bleed the front brakes, took a bit as the callipers were empty after I had cleaned them etc etc,
    I have pressure after a couple of pumps of the brake then if I leave it sit, no pressure which makes me think air bubble,
    but when bleeding into clear tube there are no bubbles just clear fluid.

    Bleed it through, then release the lever 1/4 a pull and tighten the nipple (giggity)
