Brake bleeding.....
I got the new brake lines for "Blueboy" and put them on today. I have never had an easier time bleeding front brakes. I am shocked, as I anticipated a battle. I just filled the MC, attached the mityvac, pumped up to ten, and cracked the bleed screw on each side. A couple of extra pumps, and done.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Re: Brake bleeding.....
What kind of lines did you use Lane?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Braided steel, both attached at the MC with a double banjo. Same setup as I have had for years.

Re: Brake bleeding.....
That's the same setup I had on my now sold cafe (the one I was working on when you were here). That double banjo sure does simplify things. I used a brake light banjo on the rear MC. Those work a treat also. This bike has an aftermarket MC front. It uses a micro switch for the brake. Far superior to that sliding OEM mess.
