Good to know. That's why I Love this forum.....Where do you find this 3/4 wrap for the Hyd lines?  I Plan to have both lines flushed by spring.

Best place to start looking for it is in a high performance motor store. Where you get all the mussel car motor goodies. It's where I got it.

I have a question on the clutch line insulation.  Wouldn't it be better to just install insulation at the heat source and not the entire line?  I would think if it does boil or get warm and you lose clutch and/or brake function, the insulation could cause more issues with cooling in keeping the heat in than if you just isolated the small area of the heat running close to the line and the rest of the line would be exposed for cooling.  Just wondering out loud since this could happen to mine as well at some point.

If you look closer at the photo, you will see insulation on the inside of the header also.  Shielding the "motor side" of the header and allowing heat to escape opposite the motor side.  The entire clutch line runs along the inside of the header, which is where the insulation is installed. 

After many trips in the altitude of the Rocky Mountains, real world experience convinces me this solution was effective in my case.

I think I bought this insulation on Ebay.  But Jegs, Summit, Lefthander...  Any high performance automotive retailer sells this type insulation.

While I think the insulation is a good idea. I'm going to go without, unless I have the problem again. The Redline RL-600 has been great. Along with upgrading to the Barnett Scorpion Clutch. When I start to release the clutch lever, the clutch grabs. I have almost 10K on the setup with no problems so far. To bad I paid 42K for a bike that I am constantly doing upgrades to. But hell it keeps me out of trouble.

Today only RACERPARTSWHOLESALER.COM has Redline on sale. I just ordered 5 power paks and 3 bottles of RL-600 last week.

It's been awhile since I've had reason to need/want it.  Does anyone know if the Gulf RF1000 brake fluid ever became available here in the states?  It was a really good fluid also, high boiling point, but at least used to cost significantly less than than the "track day" or other high end brake fluids.

I have not seen that in YEARS!!!! I'm happy with the Red Line. Well at least so far I am.

Same thing happened to me in CO last year, changed my fluid and was great this year.  Brake fluid should be changed about every other year.
