No, your not posting too much. Since the master cylinders on bikes do not move very much fluid it is hard, for them to push enough fluid to bleed the system. Also the air is wanting to go up. I bleed them with an old pump style oil can. I fill the oil can with break fluid, then I attach a piece of vacuum hose to the tip of the oil can, and the other end to an open bleeder. I then can pump the fluid up to the master cylinder. It is the only way I have found that works.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
