The rebirth of Lazarus
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Our local auto parts shop (Romac) that closed during the Covid Era had an aftermarket flexi-hose parts book where they would identify the type of end connectors. From this data they would find the closest hose length that would fit almost anything.
Appears braided versions are also available looking on flea bay.

tried a local hydraulics company and they are able to shorten it and fit a new end.

as it turned out they could not fit new end so made me a braided one for £15 and when fitted is hardly seen so no problem. what was a problem was bleeding the brake, always puzzles me it always takes ages to sort out on a single caliper system yet on a car one with tandem systems and 4 wheels it seems easier. tried all the recommendations on here and eventually got it sorted. All rebuilt master and caliper with silicone fluid. Got him off the bench for the first time and actually moved under his own steam for about a meter, will try up driveway when it stops raining. one thing i did notice was first gear clicks in very smoothly without a big clunk so must have done the gearbox correctly.now need a uk style clutch cable as the one fitted is miles too long.
Bryanj:
The Honda master cyl is a lot different from car ones and usually needs bench bleeding before it will work properly

as its sunny in scunny at the moment I have taken Lazarus outside to run him down the drive. Almost there mechanicaly just clutch cable to sort and chainguard to fit, also exhaust mount bracket for the motad exhaust kindly donated by Graham and Julie. then painting the tank and side panels, both original parts. Also got some stickers from Piki for the tank and other warnings to finish off the look. will upload a link to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Zjh2YbcsM
