Haven't tried to do this, tUPSg but seems like a very simple bracket fashioned from a piece of aluminum could be bolted under the passenger foot peg mount. You'd need to replace the OEM pipe between the res and master cylinder with some sort of hose that woul not deteriorate from contact with brake fluid....IDK if there is a special kind of rubber for this.
Cool idea. Might try that one myself some day.

The hose you need is called tygon. Motomummy.com has it with the superbike reservoir kit to totally rid yourself of the rear reservoir all together. Replaced the rear reservoir on my track bike with the superbike kit.

I ordered some of that tubing. I pulled the stock front brake and clutch reservoirs and replace them with some billet aluminum ones. Used clear fuel line, but it appears to "sweat" some brake fluid depending on the temperature and weather. Makes me not trust it completely.

No, the Tygon has been fine. But the clear fuel line that preceded it not only sweated brake fluid, it turned cloudy white inside.
