This is the fluid I picked up http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-38...d-1-liter.aspx , I got the info from one of the post from Eagle1 over at TT.

Its DOT4 so it shouldn't cause any issues, I have it in my 06 Ultra right now and the brakes are working fine. The dry boiling point is what it will boil at when no water is present and the wet boiling point is what it will boil at when there is 3% water by volume in the system. I make it a point to purge my brake systems every 2 - 3 years, its amazing how nasty the fluid can get in that short amount of time.

Placed another call to PM today to get a status update, was told engineering is seems to be dragging their feet. The guy I've been dealing with said the next step for him would be to bring engineerings slow response to the attention of the Company President. I told him that would be much appreciated because I'm getting a touch pissed at this point.

I looked around town for the ATE SuperBlue brake fluides and didn't find any, no body here knew what I was talking about. I did find other synthetic brake fluids with a higher boiling point then what we have now but not as high as the SuperBlue. I guess I'll have to settle with. It would cost to much to ship in the ATE Super Blue.
Thank you for the update.

P.S. Yesterday I was out running around, I started out with a firm rear brake pedal but after forty five minutes of riding time I found the rear brake pedal soft again. This is riding around from 55 mph to 30 mph to 20 mph etc., all moderate to slow speeds and the out side temp of about 50 degrees F.

I did not call today but will tomorrow. I wonder how we could go straight to the Company President?

I think we are moving along now, seems the higher up's kicked someone in the back side. I had Steve who I've been working with call me a little while ago, he said things are rolling along big time now. He actually called me twice, the 1st time to bring me up to date and the 2nd time to get the serial number off the master cylinder along with the invoice number from where I bought it. As luck would have it he recognized Eastern Performance Cycles where I bought it from right away. Appears they are concerned and engineering & R&D are hot on it. The path forward is not going to be an over night fix. According to Steve they will have to measure things up to create a new CNC program so they can cut the correct master cylinder, they will then have to test it for them selves to make sure it functions. He said the next step will be them sending me one to install and make sure it fits properly and functions correctly, then they will take care of anyone who having issues. The down side is this is no fast process, its going to be a month or longer with a month being amazingly fast. So until then I will be installing the master cylinder that came in the kit.
I have to say kudos to Steve, he remembered my name when I called and even had my phone number handy. He even said he is placing a note on his desk to stay on top of this for me.

The funny part is Steve also does sales also, the 1st conversation he and I had he mentioned he didn't know a whole lot about the subject I was discussing.

Just got back from road trip and read your post.
I installed the PM second stage brake system. Had the same problem. Access to the cover was a real pain. I reinstalled the stock master cylinder and have had no problems. I ordered the parts from J&P. I went with black since my trike is totally blacked out.
241-765 10mm 90 degree banjo fitting
241-774 3/8 banjo bolt
241-744 23in brake line
I also replaced the brake tee, since I wanted black, 242-476.
The bajo fitting took a little tweaking, tight fit.
Sold the PM master cylinder on ebay, more than made up for the cost of parts.
