Brake Fluid Weep
I have had my SPF for only about 1/2 yr and last night, during a good-night check-in, noticed the rubber hose from the clutch resevoir to the master cylinder looking like it was perspiring and I saw a drip on top of the frame from it. I don't see any loose connections that would cause leakage, so I am assuming that the brake fluid is weeping through the hose. A CC search confirmed my suspicion that this is what is happening.
I have wiped down the hose and cleaned up the drip to avoid any paint damage. Now, I intend to drain the resevoir and hose and replace the hose, but with what? I don't think that hard line is going to work due to the plastic resevoirs with push-on male ends.
Has anyone found a suitable, flexible solution to this problem that looks good? I prefer the black hose look and would think that even black nylon braid would satisfy my aesthetic requirements.
Thank you in advance for the advice.
