Just R&R'd the CB900F front brakes, forks after a fork leak soaked and swelled everything. The Patented ggg "no bleed" brake job went great.
After it's done, there's usually just a bit of air at the caliper bleeder. Use no brake lever for this. Pack some paper towel around the base of the bleeder screw, carefully just barely crack the bleeder loose. This will let a small amount of air out, and just a smidge of brake fluid, the paper towel will catch that. Finish up by tearing off a small strip of paper towel twist to make a wick, sop the fluid out of the bleeder port, done. Can be repeated if need be.

New SS lines, pistons, seals, and MC internals, mm good brakes again.
These forks call for ATF, I used10-30 5W20 motor oil. so far so good, nice shock action. Back to back with a stock TX650,

on a rough local road it's night and day better.
couple more parts in the CB calipers but they aren't bad to work on.
