It'll need filling up more often, looks trick tho. Don't buy that one tho, there's a guy on eBay selling that plus a fancy coloured tube for the front Inc aswell for the same price

It allows you to ditch your standard reservoir and hose and just use a shorter length of HRC hose in its place. Basically a smaller and neater set-up. Often there's no room for a reservoir pot when your run an aftermarket seat unit or subframe.

Personally, I wouldn't use the HRC hose - it weeps fluid which is not a good thing. Alright if you're a race team and replace it with a new one after every race though. I just use some new braided rubber hose and the HRC bung and clips - no weaping and jobs a gooden :peace:

You bid before you don't know what it is?

I don't use one on the road, there's nothing wrong with the standard resevoir :-)

Supertrick track bike with strange rear etc would be useful, but there not designed for long-term use.. they will deteriorate / weep etc.

They aren't really any good for the road, also an MOT failing point. Although like a lot of other things it depends on where you go.

sorry i misread your post in thought you were asking if this was what you need to replace the standard,

all the difference is weight saving, and you can see the level, easier and drain easier, its really intended for Racing use only, but it looks trick, i got green hose on mine with a clear pvc one over the top to create a atmospheric barier as i found recently that brake fluid sweats through the HRC hose, but in race bikes its not a proble as the fluid should or tends to be removed and replaced after each race.
