It worked so well there must be something wrong.

I changed the rear cylinders and most of the lines going forward.

I opened a rear bleeder and pumped like a mad man. After a long time a few drops came out.

So, I poured a large bottle of DOT3 in a clean bug sprayer, cut the sprayer off and forced the plastic hose onto the bleeder.

I pumped it up opened the opposite bleeder. Brake fluid gushed forth.

I tightened the bleeder and headed to the front where i found brake fluid pouring over the top of the MC. (top seal is worn)

That was too easy.

The pedal is hard. Battery is charging. I was not expecting to drive it tonight.


The end is in sight thanks for all the help along the way.
