Default Relocation of rear brake reservoir

Hey guys, I have noticed that a lot of you have relocated you rear brake reservoir. I would like to do that to mine as well. First off, where did you put it, because they seem hidden in most of the pics I see. Second, how can I do this to mine?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, pics please!!

Oh yea, 06 1000RR

I just removed the resevoir and pluged up the hose. It's got more than enough fluid in it. Did that about 1500 miles ago w/no problems to date.

It's just a reservoir, it has no effect on braking.

You need a little bit of reservoir because your pads slowly wear down, extending the pistons in your calipers a little more each time, using more fluid to extend them further. But their is no pressure in you reservoir to worry about. I was a little worried about temp build up, but it hasn't been an issue. Looks clean to! I'm thinking about getting a smaller reservoir and setting it up like the guy on hooligan bike tech though. that looks clean..
