One reservoir for both front and hb?

Tried to do a search on here and that function didn't work so does anyone have a pic of using just one brake reservoir for both the front and hand brake? I'm running a dual caliper setup btw.

wish i could remember why they said not to , maybe as the one system draws fluid from the reservoir it pulls the pistons into the caliper of the other

baller ****!


I run my reservoir below my triple, out of the way. You gotta remove the reservoir and put it above the brake system to bleed it, but once its bled, it's good below.
Mine stayed solid for 2 years before it finally managed to get air into the system.. Then a quick re-bleed and back to being solid
