So I know there's a lot of aftermarket levers out there for the proclimb. They fix the terrible design of the lever but the resivour is still a pos. This is about the same price as most of the aftermarket levers and you get an upgraded housing as well. I stole this idea from n16ht5 and thought I'd post the parts needed to make it happen.

You need 1 https://m.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Brembo-S...715200&hash=item25ad59ddb3:g:R-cAAOSwHmhV8c89

Why do you need the second hose?

I thought n16ht5 said he just bolted his on.

You don't need it but it's gonna come out at a goofy angle if you don't change hoses. The hose I posted has a 90° in it

I did the same thing with the brembo. I used a Venhill brake line to get more length and a 90° fitting. Shipped was like 40$. So far so good! Definitely like this brake set-up way better than cats.

Is there wires to hook up brake light?

negative, i don't run a taillight so it didn't bother me. I think you could use an older m8 reservoir if you wanted to keep the brake light switch
