Default Where can i get MOTUL 5.1 Brake fluid or better online?

Specifically looking for Motul 5.1 brake fluid, i hear its one of the best for its high boiling point, can't find a place online for it, anyone know of one? If its not purchasable online, what is an equivalent brake fluid for the ls1? Thanks.

I buy mine from my local Motorcycle dealership.

It's about $8 1/2 litre.

FYI ...

If you keep your brake system flushed regularly, like every 3 months, then you really don't have to worry about the WET boiling point.

If you look at Motul 5.1 and the Motorcraft HD truck brake fluid, the MC is ~25 degrees lower thatn the dry boiling point than the Motul. Wet boiling point is significantly lower, but if you keep your brake fluid clean, the wet BP is of no consequence.

I've been using Motul 5.1 for almost 2 years, but am gonna change to the MC HD fluid as soon as my stock runs out.
