otherwise,
1. cover all brake line ends with a piece of trash bag tied with a bread tie. (to keep dirt out. feed the lineinto the bike fron the back.
2. take the rear set screw on the master cylinder completelt out before you start.( because in ft. exh. pipe is about 3/4" away) so its time consumeing to get it out.
3. i like speedbleeders.com 888 879 7016 their valves have a spring in them to prevent air from entering the lines when you release the lever. 8.00 steel or 15.00 stainless.
i also like ATE original SUPER BLUE brake fluid as its syn. and compatable with DOT 4 or 5. and they have a amber tented one so the next time you change fluid when you get
amber colored fluid comming out of the valve, the you know all the fluid has been fluished out.
4. also i made up a 'T' line of clear spagetti to fit over the rear caliper valves and long enough to reach the resivor so you can bleed the lines over & over & the fluid
goes back into the resivor till all the air is out of the system.
4. adjust the master cylinder plunger so when you release the lever the piston in the master cylinder goes in far enough to let fluid enter into the fwd part of the master cylinder. this is not set at the factory.
5. go to performance machine.com & under the TECH tab download the installation sheet for the stage 1.
hope this helps butch. lb if ya watch ebay you can get theis ft. calipers too sometime.
you will have to call speedbleeders because they don't list p/m calipers under their motorcycle list.
as info their h-d ones have a rubber cap for the valve. if you decide to use them.
