The last length of steel braided line you should have left will have a straight -6AN female fitting on one side while the other end is left open and has a hose clamp attached to it. Thread this line into the leg of the tee fitting that is still left open.		http://images.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_steer_11_s.jpg
Now is the time to prepare and install the reservoir. Ours is a front brake master cylinder reservoir from an '05 Honda CBR 1000 RR. First we unscrew the cap retaining bolts.		http://images.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_steer_12_s.jpg
Inside we find what appears to be some kind of cross between a bladder and a gasket which we assume was used on the motorcycle to inhibit fluid from sloshing around. Save the bladder for later.

We decided that while we didn't have a use for the bladder itself we still needed a gasket to seal the reservoir and prevent fluid from spilling everywhere. Go ahead and cut the inside out.		http://images.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_steer_15_s.jpg
This is all that is necessary to keep to use as a gasket.

Set the gasket inside the cap so it will seal around the edge. Oops, there's that R again.		http://images.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_steer_17_s.jpg
Plug the barbed fitting on the bottom of the reservoir into the open end of your stainless line.		http://images.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_steer_18_s.jpg
Put on the cap, add fluid and pat yourself on the back. You're done.
