Cb 750 rear brake line

I have a 79 cb750 F (i Think) and i just started back on this project. first thing i noticed is the back brake reservoir has a piss poor hose coing out of it. my question is what kind of hose is supposed to be there? surely it cant be this POS auto zone pressure hose?

Are you talking about the hose that goes from the reservoir to the master cylinder, or the hose that goes from the master cylinder to the caliper?

Re: Cb 750 rear brake line

Did some research and it looks as though this is a non pressure hose. Or better yet not that much pressure. Thought I could just pick some up at local Auto shop, but no such luck. Apparently even fuel line wont stand a chance against brake fluid. Brake fluid will eat the lines, and then mess up brake system as it breaks down the hose internally. Through some other blog boards I learned of a hose that will work called Tygon 2075. Found some on ebay but cant seem to find the size i need. I need a 7/16 ID, and all they are selling is 5/16 and 1/4, whihc are too small. If i buy from other companies I have to buy a shit ton. I just need 8 inches
Anyone have another source?
