DOT 5 is synthetic and can cause problems with seals and brake lines depending on construction and configuration, A complete overhaul and upgrade would be in order to use DOT 5.

When you guys get together, can you see about taking some action video of the bikes cruising together. Maybe have a friend with a chase bike taking video of the two of you. Two unique killer KZzzzz's side-by-side!!! Would make a great video.

As far as the brake fluid goes, 4theKZ1000 got a leak in his rear M/C a year or 2 ago & it destroyed his freshly painted swing arm & some chrome, so he said he switched to DOT 5, which will not harm paint or chrome, that's what I think I'm going to use when I rebuild the M/Cs & calipers on my project to be on the safe side
cant wait for more Pics, & videos of your BAD ASS Project, looks like you're almost done, :woohoo:
