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.

While we're here, have you ever seen someone use one HS33 lever paired up with two disc calipers (via a splitter) to make one handed (f&r) braking? We have a disabled customer and I'm led to believe that this is a viable solution (also for cargo trikes)

Yes,I agree that Magura lever shape is a bit damm looking but other hand you’re trying to heavily modify most important safety component on yr bike...
“Brakes” So try to think twice of that kinda of bodge you’re want to do.
Your bike ,your call just an advice....
Like a Volvo car will not fit brake callipers from Nissan (or if -this can end up disaster when you hit road )
But like I say,not my circus -not my monkeys ....just an advice to consider...

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!
