V6Jon Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 EBay is your friend. I have no experience, but have heard rumours of these pipes "sweating" brake fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp5 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Do a search on ebay for Tygon tube. It doesn't 'sweat' brake fluid like the green HRC stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick448 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 My HRC kit definitely sweats, I have ordered some Tygon from the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackdaybob Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not had any problems sweating fluid with the HRC kit hose on my R1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick448 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Maybe it depends on temps where the bike is kept. Could be type of fluid too maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Look up on US ebay for a seller called kurveygirl. No, she doesn't do voluptuous porn, but brake tubes, in various diameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where i have orederd mine from. I haven't received it yet but once i do i'll be replacing my green tubing with it. My HRC stuff sweats and is also quite a lot sotfer than when i fitted it. I cant speak for the Tygon stuff yet but i'm told it is better stuff. I should think the HRC / Racing teams probably replace their stuff regularly which would probably negate the issue of sweating. That said it is only a small amount and hesn't reduced the level of fluid by an amount that i can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwhelmot Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 My HRC rear pipe sweats too. Its a pain in the arse. Having said that, we have Tygon tube in work , so i used a section of it from the front res to the master and that sweated too! So tygon is no better.
