brake fluid tubing

[Deano2485]

Anyone know where I can get some of the hose that connects the front master cylinder to the reservoir and what materials can be used

sorry I haven't got a clue what materials you could use.
In my experience when it comes to something important like brakes it's best to use genuine Kawasaki parts

You're right about my mind reading skills, cos I knew you were going to say that

any non-swelling plastic or rubber will be fine, use what HRC use on the rears if you want something a bit different...

dont get the "pink" pipe, it allows some water vapour in, the green one is the one to go for.

you can use tygfon hose, its what they use on the hrc mc deletion kit, cheap as chips aswell though cargo is right you can just get from cradley, but its £11.10

That HRC rear brake reservoir is intend to remain straight and upright or only a very slight bend.

Try to bend it to fit the front brake and it will likely kink

It is also a different bore if memory serves me right


But the WTF would I know

In a different post cargo stated every problem here is complicated and the answer even more complicated, point proved.
I'm not taking sides, or trying to wind anyone up etc etc, the tubing banner is suggesting could be the best stuff ever, I don't know, it may not suit, cargo could be right, I don't know, point being, in my position I would go for the OEM, safe in the knowledge it will fit perfectly and is without doubt correct for the bike, simple, no?

I agree, I'm looking at replacing the tubing on my front master cylinder but removing the rear (think it looks better) so front OEM, rear use the tygon stuff but keep all the unit just Incase
