example: the 4inch hose that goes to the brake res, empty out 1inch of fluid so its 3inchs of fluid and 1inch air, then block off the hose with a plug.
so realistically the hose acts like the res would.
im just tryin to work around making some bracket that relocates it.

I've got to be able to see the level of fluid in the tube.Originally Posted by cromer611
FWIW - I don't like how you have your tube bent over. I would think it can get air in the line the way you have it setup.

the line goes into the master at the lowest point, so the bike would have to be completely upside down.
but if i replace the line with a clear one would dat be ok?

If it is allowed for you to do this make sure you get brake fluid specific hosing. All the other stuff will sweat the fluid out.
Here's what I used a few years ago on my TLR. The rear brake was 100% as functional -- for as much as I needed it. I think this would be ok, right Ray?
That is perfect! That's what I want to see!! Clear tube AND no bends in it.Originally Posted by Jim 'smooth' Brewer

The "rule of thumb" I learned was 4 inches of hose with 3 inches of fluid visible.
That to me looks more like an eight inch hose to me?
where can i get some of the clear hose that size that is brake fluid safe?

Marty, how long did you leave it on before changing or noticing it?
i had used some of the thinner line for the line between my front master and rez. it started sweating within a day or so. i haven't tried any of the larger line that you could use a rear rez. my bike comes stock with the large line as a rear rez, so i am just trying to find something cheaper than the hrc price

Try a good sized modeling shop like "Hobby Town" (not Hobby "Lobby") as the R/C guys need good fuel line as some are using nitromethane. You may run into size issues, but it's worth a visit. At least they will be knowledgeable, and then you can decide what might work.
R/C shops will not have anything in that big a diameter. Way too big for a nitro car, even a 1/5 scale as those run on regular pump gas, not nitro. What I would think would work is that hose that motorcross bikes use for the junk that runs out of the engine and has the plug on the end. Have no idea what it is called but I am always having to empty it out on my Honda CRF250r, especially when running supermoto due to all the high rpms. That hose seems like it might hold up to brake fluid.Originally Posted by Scored51

You can buy clear fuel line tubing in most any size at Advanced Auto. It's usually pre-cut in a box.

Yeah, it did a little, but not enough to even form a drop. So I wiped it off every weekend or so.Originally Posted by marty
Tygon tubing. Get it here: US Plastic
It's really cheap, and virtually any-chemical-proof.
