Hmm... With cars, they always recommend bench-bleeing the master cylinder to get the air out of the main piston. You could try to run an old hard line (or some kits come with a bench-bleed plastic hose) out the main port and it will dump directly back into the reseviour. You should be able to be

Paul, Thanks, that all sounds important. Here's a question, since I've never had any frame welding done -- can welding be done without removing /everything/ from the bike -- I guess I'm asking if I have to give them a naked frame. Or can they do this on a bike where, say the tank is removed, e
