Yes, it's the only thing I could find that was both clear and would hold up to the fluid. It had to be clear so I could get all the air out; you may notice that the reservoir is not only shared but mounted below the masters, http://www.vinmoto.org/gallery/v/VinMoto-Garage/album03/Godfferys-Garage-123/Cafe+Overkill/ this only works if there is NO air in the feed hose.

BTW; if anyone knows of another clear hose that will work for this, please LMK, I never really warmed up to the reinforced hose ether.

How's the build coming along? I'm dangerously close to winning a non-running 1979 CB750 from another source & have similar plans to you. Just curious as to how far you've come with your build and if you've hit any problems!
