bigkev Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Morning all two questions, first off I oredered some H.R.C. rear brake fluid hose/reservoir from Honda a while ago after some one kindly posted up the part numbers here but I have lost all the numbers so if anybody has them could they stick them up or PM me please.Secondly I have bought a pair of Brembo master cylinders but they have a much smaller diameter fluid supply fitting, anyone know where I can get some hose for this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can use food and checmical rated hose that is non-hydroscopic. In the US I use product called Tygon 2075, it is better than the HRC 'pipe' in that the Tygon 2075 remains flexible and does not harden or discolor (IMExperience). As for the sizing, Tygon 2075 comes in a variety of sizes, choose the one you need. If you simply want the HRC kit again, try tygaperformance.com.

RonniB Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 HTH Don't buy the HRC hose kit, I have one and it's really not intended for road use. Firstly, the hose hardens and discolours over time (3 months time will ruin it), you will find it hard to do up to the rear master inlet (I/D of the hose is much bigger than O/D of the master inlet) and the hose cap isn't vented, so it creates a vacuum when fluid is used, holding the pistons back. A CRF style integrated resovoir (with a vented cap) is a much better solution Take a look at http://www.kc-engineering.de/ they do a integrated resovoir which is really neat (page 4 under Flüssigkeitsbehälter) Ronni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigkev Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for that guys .The HRC pipe is for the YZF which does mainly track work but the ZXR has the Brembos so I will try the other pipe for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Brembo sell there own. It's old fashioned black silicon/rubber but does the job and doesn't degrade. Try these chaps. http://www.moto-racing.co.uk I just ordered some Brembo bits and pieces. I can also recommend the Brembo hose clips as well to secure it to the M/Cyl.

bigkev Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks David I can only get the Tygon pipe in 15m rolls for £50 a tad more than I was after so I think the Brembo stuff looks like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
