Mostly, yes. Hydraulically it's identical, but you won't have anywhere to mount the reservoir as the bolt it fixes to on the faired bike is on the clip on, so you'll need to arrange somewhere for the bracket to go. I have seen the original bracket mounted to the upper bolt of the master cylinder handlebar clamp, but that twists the reservoir hose and can make it kink.

Most of the cheapy eBay ones are fine, some are terrible. That said I haven't seen any poor ones of late, but if you want guaranteed fit and function you'll need to buy a known brand - and they're expensive.
