Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
Hi,
I am looking for a new hose to connect the rear brake fluid reservoir to the master cylinder.
I searched the site and the question has been asked before, but has anyone come up with a solution?

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
Are they not available stock from Honda?
According to this article Tygon 2075 in the appropriate diameter is available at McMaster-Carr.

No - the hose appears to be NLA.steve murdoch icoa #5322 wrote:Are they not available stock from Honda?

Paul: the original hose is NLA, but there is a guy in Michigan, JR Luksik, he is here ever so often under CBXtras, he sells great replacement hose by the foot.

I have been looking for some also but can't seem to find the braided hose like the original. Is that what Jr. has?EMS wrote:Paul: the original hose is NLA, but there is a guy in Michigan, JR Luksik, he is here ever so often under CBXtras, he sells great replacement hose by the foot.

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
Other Hondas from the era (CB1100F, maybe others) had hoses of the same material. The 1100F's was longer, but can be cut to length, and was still available.

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
For the rear brake hose, if the braiding isn't worn much and you can trim the frayed ends a bit, just paint the hose with the same satin black you would use on other CBX trim. It will hold up pretty well.

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
Ebay has them but in lengths of 3ft and up and quiet pricey at about $6 per foot. What size is that hose?

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
The complication is that you need to get the correct type of hose. Apparently, standard fuel hose can't be used for brake fluid - it's typically nitrile and you need EPDM or something like that.cross wrote:Ebay has them but in lengths of 3ft and up and quiet pricey at about $6 per foot.

Re: Rear Master Cylinder / Reservoir Hose
True, we just need to verify that this is the correct size
