It doesn't look any more silly than that beat up carbon slip-on, can you photoshop that away too.
Honestly though it could be exaggerated by perspective and the design of the woodcraft rearsets. I would be more worried about angle from a functional perspective considering in that position the fluid will want to pour right out of the reservoir.

Does it really matter if the res is angled? It gets titled to the side everytime you go around a curve and seems to not want to pour brake fluid out.

No the angle doesn't affect function, in fact you need very little brake fluid for your rear brake to work. I know Doug Z was building a reservoir delete kit at one point that just used a length of tubing to hold the requisite brake fluid. My point was simply more of a why not just make the res smaller (and lighter) and vertical to hold only the needed fluid rather than put it at such angle that doesn't allow you to easily fill it and leaves a lot of dead air space.

That looks pretty nice. Now I gotta see if it will fit on the Triumph.
