| 1. A hydraulic pressure feeder comprising:
a handle bar;
a master cylinder mounted to the handle bar to receive therein a piston mechanism, the piston mechanism including a piston
body;
a reservoir tank that replenishes the piston mechanism with working oil; and
a lever mechanism mounted to the master cylinder to drive the piston mechanism, wherein
the master cylinder is arranged forwardly of the handle bar and the reservoir tank is provided on the master cylinder to cover
an upper portion of the master cylinder,
the master cylinder is arranged in a direction in which an axis of the piston body intersects an axis of the handle bar, and
a discharge passage, through which working oil pressurized by the piston mechanism passes, is formed in the master cylinder
so that an axis thereof intersects the axis of the handle bar and extends forward, and a hydraulic pressure feed hose is connected
to a downstream end of the discharge passage.
