    I love the HRC pipe but it all sweats in time a right pain in the butt! Think I have meters of it over the years, it lasts about 4 to 5 months and the front pink v,plast lasts about 10 weeks!

    No not a waist of time mate, HRC claim is should do it......odd......but true..... anyway now you know what the sweating is that you will see at some point, just wipe it clean but note a few months after the sweat it starts to cloud up and is no longer clear then ai change it... I think it's how HRC make some spare cash....lol

    Outside mate, does not drip or run but does get bad, keep an eye on it... Looks cool though mate. Tbh I used to use black hose OK you cant see through it but never had any sweating problems.

    Just fitted my front hoses.
    I am pleased I went with the clear option as it looks great!
    Will fit rear as soon as HRC res arrives.

    Finally fitted the rear hose this morning.
    I had been waiting for the HRC reservoir to arrive for two weeks but it didn't show up.
    Spoke to Jonny on thutsday and he said he would post another.
    It arrived this morning........and ive decided not to use it after all that.
    It looks good with aftermarket rear sets (see JamieHRC photos), but the angle and proximity of the MC with the standard pegs on will not look right IMO because it will sweep up too quickly and be too close to the frame.
    If anyone wants it, you can have it for £5 + delivery.
    Some photos anyway......

    Cheers Arthur. Jonny said they supply all of them like that, its just that some people install them incorrectly!

    Sorry to hijack,

    But does anyone know the size of copper washers I need for my 07?

Ray I have loads if you need some mate just drop in....or PM me your address but you'll have to wait till after the bank holliday.

    I fitted 1 and then decided against it for the same reasons . Arthur said you can change the outlet to a right angle 1 so the HRC hose goes straight up .
    Ain't had time personally but may be worth a go before you sell it mate

    Can I assume you had lines that were wrong Jamie? LOL.
    I don't know if Jonny was being serious, I guess he was joking! I did ask him to make sure mine were the right way round though!

    Good call Dan.
    I assumed the 4 piece HRC kit would come with a 90 degree outlet.
    Where could i get one?
