Rear Brake Reservoir Delete kits

[neroneuman]

Hello Guys & Gals,

I'm planning to go with a Rear Brake Reservoir kit on my street bike.
All the kits recommend them to be used on race bikes and frequent fluid changes.

Has anyone used or is using Rear Brake Reservoir delete kits on your street bikes? How often do you change your brake fluid on your street bike with this kit?

Above are some examples. Seems the HRC kit has a tubing which sweats after some use and is not recommended.

Thanks in Advance

I don't have a kit per se, I just used some tygon tubing and corked it. I've had it on the bike for about a year and a half and haven't changed it yet. It's fine so far. That said, it's not my daily and only gets used a couple of times a month, for whatever it's worth.

I recently deleted the rear reservoir, thought about buying the kit from sportbike track gear, but shipping was more than the product itself. I bought a foot of tygon and the Honda vent plug from Amazon and some hose clamps from my local O'Reilly.

It's only on the bike for about a month so I cannot speak to longevity, but when I did my research the common theme was that the tubing in the HRC kit sweats, but tygon is good to go.
