While changing the brake pads and changing brake fluid recently in my 2 Harleys and other bikes, I had an epiphany of sorts.
When I was a much younger lad, of sorts, DOT 3 brake fluid was the best option. DOT 3 is amber or yellow in color. Then, came DOT 4 brake fluid. DOT 4 is clear in nature. After changing out the pads, I opted to switch to DOT 5. DOT 5 is purple.
Then it hit me, like a brick on the side of the head. Since we think of, and talk about our bikes using the "SHE" definition. Brake fluid is like anal beads. They go in, in different colors. But, always comes out brown.
