Bleeding my brakes

[astroscope]

Hi Guys,
Soon to fit new pistons seals and dust seals in my caliper. I'll need to bleed the brake fluid out and put some fresh fluid in.
I've searched for brake bleeding hose but not sure which one will fit in. Don't really want to order the wrong one/size.
Can I anyone recommend one for my Honda VT125 Shadow 2005 model?
Many thanks

I used some spare marine/aquarium air hose to bleed the brakes on my bikes. Old skool style works a treat

Thanks,
The things is, I have no hose except the one for watering the garden

So I need to invest in one. Cheers

nip up to your local B&Q for for about a pound you'll get 2 metres(i think it was) of clear tubing.

B&Q was awful for me, either spend 20quid on 500m or nothing.

Local pet shop had the perfect size, clear tubing. 45p for a metre - winner winner chicken dinner.

Also get a big syringe while you're out so you can reverse bleed the brakes. Saves you loads of time.

Yet to get the reverse working successfully

I just gave up and bought a radial MC with bleed nipple up top - talk about a cop out

So what's the best thing to go for?

Yep! And a wee tap along the lines from the MC to the caliper to try to dislodge any bubbles. Also the cable tie around the lever overnight with the lid unscrewed but no off will help!
