Easy way to bleed them is get a large syringe and tube to fit the bleed nipple, make sure your master cylider has no fluid in it, attach the tube to the bleed nipple then slowly push the fluid back through the system until you get fluid in the master cylinder. Shut the bleed nipple then top up the master cyclinder and Try your brake it should be perfect.

Thanks for the tips guys. Just fitted up my apes over the weekend and for the brake line I used the reverse bleed with the small oil can method. It worked well. I slowly worked the fluid up into M/C locked of the bleed nipple, then a minute or so on the lever and repeat (Keep going until there are no more tiny bubbles coming up through the M/C). I did this couple of times and the lever was about 3/4's there. Pulled the lever in and taped it off and by the morning it was rock solid. Thanks again for the tips. Oh, and I picked up my extened brake line from local brake joint for $75 Just took in my old line, told them the length I needed and colour and 1hr later job done. DASH
