Ok well, I went about doing this and it worked pretty well but the rear was real hard to do by myself cause the reservoir was in an area almost impossible to reach into, it was a real pain. I had to screw it off the frame and hold it while somehow topping it up and bleeding... Don't ask me how I did this but I did...

I put in some DOT4, now my understanding though is the new fluid should be cleaner if not clear? This new stuff I put in only looks like a mild amber and not transparent. Shouldn't it be like water??? almost colorless? The difference between the color in the old fluid and the new wasn't that much different.

I bought some Honda DOT4 stuff, so should it look like this from the bottle? I am beginning to think I may have to go do this again cause maybe this bottle sat on the shelf before being sold and went like spoiled milk. Is that possible? The bottle was sealed...

let me know your thoughts...

Thanks.
