Front Brake Bleeding Problems
I need a little help. I'm finishing up installing my 16" apes and i can't get the front brake to bleed. Everything is free flowing up to the master cylinder. I hae gone as far astaking the brake line off to check the flow coming from the master cylinder. I'm just getting a drip. I'm assuming i have a bad master cylinder.

brake bleeding
Bleed it from the master cylinder not the bleeder screw on the caliper.
I just did a handle bar change out with Wild1 chubby 18's and fought with the same thing.
A buddy of mine told me to bleed from the master cylinder at the banjo fitting...believe me it works.....
