XS400 Brake Fluid Reservoir Tilt

[junununu]

I recently swapped out my stock bars for a pair of BikeMaster clubman cafe style bars, but noticed that the brake fluid reservoir is in a tilt. I'm concerned about fluid being able to flow through, because the opening is now the highest point on the reservoir, so all the fluid pools down by the opposite corner of the opening.

Is the reservoir pressure activated and does fluid still run through, or do I need to find an aftermarket fluid reservoir?

you can get the "custom" master cylinders as they have an angled body to compensate for the bars!

the ones i'm finding on ebay are around 200 or so, do i need the whole assembly, or can i just find something that would maybe fit where my old mirror used to be now that i'm using bar end mirrors?

if you make a cover plate in place of the old resevior with a nipple on it, you could use one of those
