I've actually bled brakes with the nipple on the bottom before. The solution is to bleed them before you mount them up. Its really not an issue. I have a vacuum bleeder, so that simplifies things, too.

Rear Caliper Bracket - Update

Just finished the prototype made out of steel mounting OE rear caliper.



Presently testing the braking characteristics in this configuration.
Nothing untoward so far.
Also, if the OE brakeline is long enough - it appears to be.

When satisfied will have the bracket milled from high-grade aluminium billet.
Will also look into aesthetic & functional design issues!

Now, no further need for centre stand protection - Hooray!!!

Just a word on the OE front disc.
Like many others it has warped.
Just changed to an EBC semi-floater and it works like a treat.
Especially with the Harrison Billet-6.
Highly recommended.
