Dave, the reslieved MC's from Al miles can be a pain to get set up. Do you have a copy of his mounting instructions? The little tiny Allen set screws that adjust the backing plate and the "non" threaded through bolts that mount the thing need to be just right or it's a pain to bleed and will fail after a while. After adjusting it by Al's direction I still had to leave the lever tied to the handle every night for a few days to get all the air out but once done the handle is solid right from the start. I still don't fully trust it though. I think the real solution is called "Brembo"!!!

I have the instructions and I talked to him on the phone. I don't think I'll "not trust it". From what he was saying it's got a lot of seals which could easily trap air. Also since I was going from a dry system he said it might take a bit.
 
Can't Imagine it takes you longer that it takes me, but it is funny when you have work and life gets out of your control to complete the things we really love.
 
Does anyone have one of these?

I use a small weed sprayer to pressure bleed my brakes. You need another master cylinder cover/cap which you attach a hose nipple to. Connect the weed sprayer filled with a small amount of brake fluid to the master cylinder cover/cap. This is by far the most effective way I've found to bleed motorcycle brakes. The least effective , in my experience, is a vacuum bleed. I have a BMW ABS bike. No way you can bleed that sucker other than pressure bleed.
