I just started using ATE super Blue racing brake fluid, DOT 4. I'm told it is what BMW uses for its street cars. The fluid is available in blue and amber - so you can tell when bleeding the brakes when you have new fluid. It has slightly better performance specs than Castrol fluid which I used to use. I ordered my fluid when I ordered a power-bleeder. http://www.motiveproducts.com/ordernow.htm Todd '88 Westy
