So it's one res for both the brake and clutch? I think a horizontal cylindrical res would be cool too.

hmmmm looks like fluid tank is too low, lower than cylinders. It is not OK. Owner should expect issues. IMHO ???

What does height matter? Isnt it a vacuum? If theres no air, and the fluid is pressure driven, wouldnt gravity be a non issue?

it's not an issue provided it is high enough to overcome the column of fluid in the line.  the volume of the reservoir is small

Norm did this one of his 'bikes' years ago.  He used the small clutch or rear brake reservoir and supplied them to all 3 hydraulic circuits.  I remember it b/c it was unusual.

Also, if the clutch fluid goes black...  Do you really want that in your front brakes?!?!?!?!?

Wow, your rear rotor is pretty cool. Looks almost fragile.
How'd you get the pipes upswept more? Can't exactly get them in a bender..notch and reweld maybe?

That res has been on for 2 years and 10000 miles. "Have not touched it since I put it on, no bleeding or anything."

The exhaust has been cut, angled, rotated and rewelded.
