brake Fluid resi's

So with the help of a verry skilled welder we made this resi. Cuz it's what i wanted, and the plastic ones DO crack.

If i were to put another fitting in it, i could use it for both my front and my handbrake masters.
It should work ???
Any input ??

Re: brake Fluid resi's

What about the diaphram? You know you need one for a res to work properly right?

Im using the tiny Brembo 15cc res's that only cost $6, their great cause their so small and I dont even know how you could crack one...

Just a hose works ok in the rear on a race bike where you barely use the rear brake.....But for the res to work properly you need the diaphram. I used to run just a hose on my R6 and when I started 12'n it with losts of rear brake use I would loose pressure all of a sudden, put a res with a diaphram back on and it never happened again....

well if its air tight, i suggest opening it ever hour of brake useage to eliminate any chance of brake failure do to its no breathing capability.

i thought clear hoses usually get cloudy from the inevitable moisture

Re: brake Fluid resi's

if the tube is soft enough you wont have a problem it will collaps when more fluid is needed. should work fine just make sure there is no air in it or it will run straight into the master when you 12.
