Default Remote Reservoir for Master Cylinder

Anybody running a remote brake fluid reservoir?

I'm looking at running some bracing from the shock tower to the center of the firewall. Problem is the master cylinder is in the way on the driver's side. Easy solution is a remote fluid reservoir. Is there a remote set up that fits the Honda MC?

carbing(sp) and some others make something like this, the two bars from strut to fire wall aren't equal though. that way you don't need to relocate the MC.

I appreciate the thought, but there are other reasons behind the remote reservoir idea. Just thought I'd explore that solution before I begin considering a compromise.

Simplest and strongest way to do the bracing is right thru the area where the stock reservoir is (not MC, just the reservoir...). Also, there is a very trick, quick, simple and easy to use brake bleeding tool I'd like to get that doesn't fit the Honda reservoir. If I use a different reservoir that the tool fits, I can have my cake and eat it, too. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog...store
