...you know, the bit of hose that goes from the m/c to the reservoir. Where can I get some of this from, as well as the little clips that hold each end on?

I've just relocated my reservoirs and need new stuff.

Cheers

The hose isnt pressurised so any Brake fluid resistant hose will suffice (I believe) - I'm sure there are specialists about but M&P accessories seems to sell most stuff at reasonable prices..

Cheers Frank...funny I popped into M&P which is just up the road yesterday, and they didn't have any in, although I do remember seeing some there before.

Harris do the translucent pinkish hose as found on factory race bikes, otherwise Holloway Autoparts in Cowley do most types of black hose. which is where I got mine

the rear line for a 916/748 is 10% of the cost of the front line and twice as long if you're buying from a dealer.

Ford brake line hose works, but is slightly narrower bore (tighter fit). I've currently got grey KTM hose on mine. Any motor factor should carry it in stock, but make sure it's brake line (car stuff has a red line on it)
