what's the easiest way to bleed the brakes after installing new lines and all.
The system is pretty much empty.
I was thinking maybe a vacuum bleeder, unless the brakes on the R's don't bleed too bad.
I have spent awhile a few times in the past bleeding cycle brakes, and it's not fun, as we all know.
Is the vacuum bleeder the way to go?

Both......but you gotta remember I have the CR calipers on both ends.
Shouldn't really matter, I wouldn't think. The rear one I have to unbolt so it sits right to bleed.
Otherwise, should be like bleeding the stockers.
I have some Goodridge braided lines coming soon, with the fittings I need.
I have one on my Kawi triple. Real nice stuff.
That took forever to bleed,so, I'm thinking I may try out a vacuum bleeder to see if it's easier.

when i put my extended line on my drag bike i filled the resv.and held the peddel down, cracked the bleeder and use a air gun to blow down the resv, real lightly untill it started comeing out the bleeder, then bled them the regular way.

vacuum bleeder is the go. but if you dont have one then the easiest way to do it is with the caliper above the master cylinder. this way all of the air rises to the caliper. once you have some lever/pedal feel then re attach it back to the disc and continue.
