Re: Silicone fluid, WARNING: Newbie Question

Maybe it's more the switches than the fluid.  On my 1990 Harley, a pressure
switch is used in the rear system (with DOT5), and it has never leaked.  This
looks like the same sort of pressure switch that we have commonly seen in
American cars for years, the simple off-the-shelf item.  NAPA sells them for
about $4, HD gets $10.  Probably no difference, though.
