I got from there, £12

Was there mention on here somewhere about the pipe 'seeping' ?!?! I thought I saw something a little while ago...

Chris, save your money and get one of the mini Brembo reservoirs. The one on my track bike is rock hard and weeps fluid. If you really want it though I'm sure you can take the part numbers to Honda and they'll get the bits in for you.

i got one with my HRC rearsets and it has a clear wrap around it, could this be a heatsheild of some kind? I believe the set wa for a rc45 so mabe they had this problem and it was put on to stop it?

The clear wrap is for mechanical protection.
If the tubing is light green, then it will be prone to fluid leeching through it.
I have seen a few with this problem but a few were also OK.
I bought VFR 750 reservoir hoses and cut them to fit.

I got mine from Rick O. I'll get a pic in the morning and show you.

I used the standard NC30 hose and cut it to fit the HRC bung and clips. Works well, but obviously you can't see the fluid level.

HRC tube is rubbish on V4s. Just the sun alone ages it very quickly. And those who use the HRC tube on the front are crazy!!

Strange for hrc to release such a 'dubious' part (intended for 'competition use only' it will work just fine). It was obviously designed for brake fluid changes at very short intervals, not so good for other uses.

The nc30 rear brake is so lifeless it would probably feel better with only half the fluid in there. I don't think I've EVER changed the rear brake fluid, might do so one day...
