Hey everybody. Ive been working on a poor mans Cafe bike. What I did was put a half bench solo seat on my Xs650 and turned the handle bars upside down. That is where I ran into a problem. The front brake reservoir is at a really crooked goofy angle which looks like it will be prone to leaking and Im having trouble keeping the bars from hitting my (stock)tank. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix it or have pictures that can guide me in my modifications. Thanks all.

I think you have to swap them left to right as well as just upside down.
