Question header tank

hi everyone
i,ve been playing with my firestorm for a while and have gone for a front mounted radiator. [ i used the right hand side one off the bike.] the radiator now sits higher than the header tank. does anyone know does this matter or even do i still need it?
any help / advice would be welcome

SlowHAWK is an unknown quantity at this point
I think he's refering to the radiator overflow reservior... but just a guess.

The reservoir is underneath the carbs, so it will make no difference.

If this is highest point it would need to be bled in my opinion, to ensure no air is in the system. If you have used the right hand radiator then you have the cap on it, so you should have no problems I reckon.
