How do you tell by looking into it how full the master cylinder is. Do you keep some brake fluid in it at all times?
Photo attached.
Thanks

The same way you normally open a master cylinder's cap and check to see if there is enough fluid in it - you will open the remote reservoir and make sure that it is "full" of fluid.

The remote reservoir stays full, meaning that the lines running from it are full of fluid, meaning that the two reservoirs at the actual master cylinder are full of fluid.
