im going to (hopefully) replace my front brakes with the Legend one this weekend and fit the Hel braided hoses, gonna order some motul rbf600 but how much do I need? not sure ill need to do the rears as well? or are there two reservoirs, one for rear and one for front?
cheers

Get 2L just to be safe and you can put it in your clutch line too. Having extra is always good as you never know when you may need to top up
TBH I think you can get away with Castrol Super DOT 4 stuff. It is half the price of the rbf600 and not too far off its max temp rating. I used the Castrol stuff before I fitted my KSport brakes with no issue at all.

Bleed the whole system including the rears, there is only one brake fluid reservoir.
I am not too familiar with the legend setup, does the legend use 4 or 5 stuff discs? Does it have bigger discs?

brill thanks for the info Merl
Yeh the legend disks a slightly thicker 28mm instead of 23mm but are still 282mm width like the Lude 2.2 ones. Im pretty sure you can still put on Lude disks on though as far as ive read up.
