It's where you look when you want to see what danger the product holds to you as an individual and workplace, not what will degrade the intended use of the chemical.

Yea Trip but he posted a combination sheet which covered both.

On another note, what are the supposed dangers of switching to Dot 5? Do people think that the seals are different in dot 5 designed systems? The only real reason I can find for the manufacturers NOT using Dot 5 is cost. AFAIK, HD is the only company that does and again, afaik Harley brakes aren't special in any way. Hey Buell guys, are you Dot 4 or Dot 5?

One of the articles (can't remember which now) said DOT 5 was designed to work with ABS systems that require a thinner viscosity fluid to perform properly or to their maximum potential. I may have read that on wikipedia, can't remember. ABS systems rapidly increase and decrease the brake pressure when they are "working" so a lower viscosity fluid will react or flow faster each way to keep up with the system fluctuations. There is no other reason to use it, especially in a normal system that will lose brake pressure by using it.

That is DOT5.1 not DOT5.

My KTM cam with a resevoir sock Black with Orange KTM on it. I am sure not going to use it as a sweat band on one arm...
