I also believe it has not been replaced since the bike hit the road back in 2003...

looks pretty yellow in the photo, trick of the light I think.
This one is the old brake fluid I promise (even if it doesn't look or smell like it)

I'm hoping this may help with the low speed vibration through the lever I've had since I changed the pads.
New hoses soon, I've a feeling the ones on there are 1999 originals...
After that, I may also replace the master cylinder if the fluid and brake line change does not improve the feel.
Brakes work well enough, but I do not like the feel through the lever at the moment.
