Then that translucent plastic hose that is avail from Home Depot for a buck from the hose to a beaker which had brake fluid in it. It was a one man job though easier with two people. So, list of items: 1)translucent plastic hose from Home Depot. 1 Buck 2)carb/petcock vacuum hose--just take off the KLR 3)Quart of brake fluid. Actually a pint is fine if you have someone helping--then you won't spill/waste much. $72 4)2 cable ties to make sure air doesn't get in hose. 5)Container to put hose in so air doesn't get in. Stainless steel brake line kit and ordinary tools. J#3
