rear brake res set up - dumb question

this probably sounds really stupid, but on the rear brake. i have seen a few bikes with the green tube coming off the rear M/Cylinder.
Is this tube a replacement for the standard hose to brake res? and the tube is acting as the res?
where would i get one from?

Yes
Yes
Your local shop - have a lok in the HRC fiche and get the part numbers.
IMO, it is crap, sweaty and looks rubbish - a nice dinky res pot for the win!

dont buy it firstly they sweat and leak,
Secondly if you do a search for the part number the genuine hrc hose is only £1.50 at dss
