I want to try this. Since I didn't get DOT 4, I had to go for DOT 3. I have 2 questions.

1. Where do you get that pipe and what kind of pipe should I be exactly be asking for? The diameter seems to be perfect for the bike
2. How will I know if my old DOT 3 oil has been replaced by the new one?

After recently changing my front brake pad, the braking has been pathetic. It jams up even on applying a bit of pressure. Will doing this solve the problem?

Ask for the plastic tube used for checking water level,it fits perfectly.Check the approximate amount of fluid needed,then pour.The new fluid will replace the old one.I tried this DIY without success.The nut at rear end cannot be gripped by a 8mm ring spanner(?)Also how do we bleed it as exhaust is blocking the movement of tool at rear.In the front I could not manage to unscrew the master cylinder.
