Full gsxr swap?
You can disassemble the nipple on Nissin masters. Carefully pull the rubber plug around the nipple back and remove the snap ring inside, you should now be able to swivel the nipple in any direction you want.
If you want to really lower the res. then you're probably gonna need to fab up a new mount.
From the looks of it I'd suggest a 45, I have a 90 mounted like this
It too quite a bit of fiddling to get it into a position where the Tygon didn't want to collapse, a 45 would have eased the transition a bit.

Nice set up! I'll order the 45 and keep you guys posted of the mounting

I have the regular cc for the Monster, all I did with my set was to place the brackets on the same place as the directionals.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that bike on the .ms forum asking for trouble with his reserviors that low? I'd think it would be air bubble city unless the thing was full to the brim, and then what's the point of the reservioirs anyway?

i agree, it looks troublesome, especially because if it's full to the brim there would be nowhere for the excess fluid to go. Looks pretty bad ass though

Horrible idea. Sure you could make sure its bubble free by undoing the reservoir, moving it above the master, massaging the tube to free any air bubbles, fill, and then replace, but then you've just got to keep hoping that gravity doesn't pull the fluid down enough to create enough of a vaccuum to pull the air in, wherein you'd introduce air into the system. No good. One big bump and the fluid runs out of the line into the reservoir, replaced by air.
