Is there a neater alternative/replacement to the shabby braided hose that runs from the brake reservoir to the MC. Both front and back?

You can buy rubber hose which is not braided, but it mustn't be fuel line.... The brake fluid week weep through fuel line.... go to a hydraulics place and ask them for hose which is resistant to brake fluid

Thanks, does anyone have the ID of front and rear hose handy?

They also carry 8mm if needed...

Brembo supply plain black reservoir hose which is proof against all modern brake fluids so try your local agent/stockist (PDQ in the UK keep it on the shelf)

Brilliant thanks everyone, I shall order some tonight.
