More than likely you will need to bleed them. After moving them around, a little air always seems to sneak in. Plus, if you bought them used you'll want to flush/bleed them as you don't know whats in there. Lots of posts here on how to bleed clutch/brakes. You can make a bleeder with nothing more than some clear tubing and a jar.

Yes, you'll need to bleed anytime you break into a hydraulic system that doesn't use a return line.

But may I ask why the change?

The GSXR uses those remote round reserviors becuase they need the space to clear the clipons from the fairing. On a naked bike, or the S model Bandits with plenty of room around the fairing, the intergrated masters work fine (and IMHO, look better).
