How do you hook that into the type actuator/reservoir we have?

Easy to do if you get a new master cylinder too. That is not going to be plug and play, mostly custom work.

Needs both clutch and brake m/c's of the type that require a separate reservoir. Quite expensive, no benefit at all. Also must be very careful to get the piston sizing and lever ratios correct or clutch/brake action could be very wrong, and perhaps dangerous.
Get a nice pipe or something, maybe?

OK, you guys convinced me !!!
Since I have no mechanical aptitude, I naively thought "plug & play". Apparently not!
So that just becomes margarita money instead. I'm OK with that.
Thanks for the useful info!!

No disrespect or offence intended, but I have to wonder why you thought of doing this in the first place.

No more reason than I liked the look.
Someone posted a photo of a cafe'd CB1100 the other day with them mounted. Looked cool! That's why. Plug & play...I'd be there.
