No way, no how, not on any of my bikes! DOT 5 used in a brake system that
was designed for DOT 3/4 will swell the rubber seals and will eventually
cost huge amounts of money to fix. There is PLENTY of scientific data around
the multitudes of mail list on the internet warning of this procedure. Don't
do it! Interested in a set of Splitfires? :^)
