Based on Hugh's experiments with fitting a pit-bike clutch I sourced one which I am attempting to mate to a new braided (Hel) hose and a new aftermarket clutch lever and master cylinder. Fitting the clutch actuator/'slave cylinder' piece was straightforward but without any bleed nipple I am struggling to fill and pressurise the system.
Anyone got any tips on how they have done this? I couldn't find anything searching either this forum or Hugh's blog. Thanks in advance
 
I had put my thumb over slave cylinder while pumping lever...til I got air out...stopped. .pushed it down then pumped again til I got fluid...but when you let it come up...do just enough to get air or fluid...not all the way...I did it and had a hard time getting rubber seal back in...I used it for about a week then went back to stock set up....was a waste of money for me...hugh definitely put out good products. ..not knocking him at all.
 
Yeah it worked...but I thought it was gonna be a better upgrade as far as finding neutral....but was no difference to me...so I just put cable back on...and adjusted everything right..and was good. I also didn't like the lever being smaller cuz it didn't match brake lever
