use the stock one???</TD></TR></TABLE>
I bought a set of OEM style round reservoirs and various fittings and hose from Yoyodyne. There are probably simpler ways to go about it but I wanted things to look as stock as possible. The 999 tanks just plain won't fit without hitting something, and even when you work it out, the OEM brake lines won't look "right" and a set of 749/999 lines are probably in order.

The bolt is actually a bleeder which vents directly into the fluid - great idea IMHO. The bleeder also holds the stock reservoirs to the MC body. Remove this and replace it with a traditional bleeder.

No. The 749/999 MCs come stock with a microswitch that works perfectly with the OEM 750/900SS wiring harness. You can go this route and buy the switch from Yoyodyne, BCM or BikeBandit.com or just look for a banjo bolt pressure switch. I like the 999-style microswitch for its integrated, stock look.
