realy you want to keep as much down hill run on your brake lines as possible for two reasons
1. if you get a leak above the res fluid level in your pipe/line it will let air in with the brake off via gravity, fluid level goes up, no fluid leaks out,no warning lamp and no brake! if it was down hill all the way then fluid leaks out your fluid level drops, light comes on and you can see where its leaking from.
2. its a dam site easyer to bleed
i didnt like the orignal m/c placment so mine is above the pedals.
