I fabbed a rear brake reservoir from some 1/2" aluminum tubing, extra Rizoma outlets, some o-rings, an M8 aluminum bolt, an adel clamp and some zip ties:


For the outlet, I tapped M7x1.0 threads into the tubing, and for the cap I tapped M8x1.25 threads.  Some Tygon, zip ties, o-rings, adel clamp and viola! 

I let it sit overnight and there were no leaks.

If you're careful, you can do the swap without bleeding:


Installed:


Brakes work fine.  The volume of the tubing allows for sufficient amount of fluid, and I left the "reservoir" 2/3 empty to allow for fluid expansion.  This should be fine as I only use the rear brake for low-speed maneuvers, finishing stops and while sitting at traffic signals.

$0.  I had all this lying around the garage.

I suppose if you bought everything from Home depot it would run you $10-20, the aluminum tubing being by far the most expensive item.
