coolant reservoir?

I'm struggling with a slick way to do the coolant res. Does anyone know if this bike utilizes the res during regular riding? Could I get away with just not having one? I could run a long tube from the rad down under the bike for excess to drain instead of going into the res. I know some engines need the res however and utilize the overflow regularly. So I don't want to run without it if that's the case.

any input would be awesome. I'm considering using a steel flask, tapping the top of it, and mounting it right by the radiator if I have to have one.
