bleeding brakes

Hi all! I've been off the forum for a while. The bike has been patiently waiting in the garage.

My 2001 Legend has been OOC for two years and now I'm ready to get her back into shape. I am installing new brake pads front and back and changing the brake fluid. I got the old fluid out and new fluid in by disconnecting the banjo bolt at the caliper and pumping the brake pedal to drive the fluid out the caliper connection as I pour fresh fluid in the reservoir. So now the system is filled with new fluid but how do I bleed it? The haynes says to connect my vacuum pump to the bleeder valve at the caliper but for the life of me, I can't find a bleeder valve! When I push on the brake pedal I get no fluid movement. Doesn't matter if the reservoir cap is on or off.

Anyone out their have any advice?
