This is terrific, thank you very much. I'm amazed at how hard it has been to find this info given the popularity of Shigura setups.
The front brake is ready to get slapped on with the OEM hose, so I'll have (at least) one very reliable brake.
I'm only having to re-do the rear as it's going on a tandem. That's another reason to use Shimano hose as I won't have to stump up daft cash for metres of official Magura stuff.
I'll report back with results.
Ta kindly!

The Magura stuff isn't too expensive, but it is quite hard finding them in long enough lengths.
Alternatively, you can use Goodridge hoses, which are pretty pimp, but you do end up paying.I do run a Shigura setup, and have tried with multiple levers and calipers to see what works best.
Curiously, it's the cheaper Shimano levers which work best with the 4 pot calipers. Lot of flex though.
It's an interesting experiment, but frankly, neither are as good as with their respective levers.
I just hate Magura lever shape.

Yes..to a degree; but your lever feel will likely change.
I’ve tried this on both rim and hydro brakes.
Magura hose has a bigger internal bore.
I’ve found better success with BH59 as opposed to BH90, which has a smaller bore and is a pressure based system.
At least according to my measurements and confirmation from Shimano tech.
Bore/stroke of the MC, as well as design. Magura are radial and most of modern Shimano are axial. How this ties in with hose dimensions, someone smarter could tell you.
Frankly though, it’s all a bit academic and I say fuck it. Just got for it. I did, I’m
Not dead yet.
Shit, people used to bleed their HS33’s with water back in the day.
Just plunge the whole thing in the bath and repeat the next day.
