I can send you some cheap, you need to buy 10feet at a time and I am getting some soon.

Yeah you have that nipple on top of MC where hose from reservoir attaches, stock SV-S has similar nipple which takes 6mm tube.

You ridden it with ZX10 M/C, any good?

Not tried it yet but theoretically it should be very good. I am also running cast iron 320mm disks so it should stop on its nose.

front is usually 6mm ID and rear 8mm ID. hose is very flexible and can stretch over easy.
They are actually standard, not metric, 1/4 and 5/16.

I know but it supposed to be proper HRC.

I just want to get all the little jobs finished so I can actually use the thing.

Raised suspension linkage by 20mm today and sorted out the spacers on the front wheel (SRAD wheel in K1 forks).
