Reservoir re position to centre yolk
 
I am moving my reserviors to the centre of the yolk where the ignition key was. I need longer brake fluid hoses, whats the spec? can I use standard rubber hose, it looks about 8mm in diam.

No, normal hose will weep/sweat.

Either buy proper stuff by the cm or alternatively I seem to recall either the 848 or 999 had a really long hose to the rear brake reservoir and it worked out cheaper to buy the ducati part than aftermarket hose.

I'm sure someone with a proper answer will be along shortly....

As Paul (P) says buy the proper stuff, quite a few places selling it these days either in standard Black or the coloured hose that places like Harris Performance sell

If you want a clear tubing use Tygon 2075 Ultra Chemical Resistant Tubing
