    Rubber caps that go over the bleed nipples? Haven't lost one yet but there are lots on ebay for a few quid.

    Yes they are the ones. Different sizes for front, rear and MC.
    I haven't lost one but on has cracked.
    Seen lots on ebay but not sure about the sizes.

    They're normally the same size, and just cover the bleed nipple.

    You say they are all different sizes, are you talking about the nut etc? Only the top of it needs to be covered, not usually the nut.

    I found Honda prices to be quite fair. But yes, for something like this a generic rubber cap should be fine.

    Part numbers are different between the front and rear/ master cylinder.
    Prices also around £3 and£5!:confused:
    Nut sizes are the same though.
    Think I’ll order a set of 4 on eBay to try

    Ordered a set from eBay£3 for 8! Arrived today and seem to fit fine.

    says it’s for 8 mm nipples. Too small for my Yamaha xt.
