Thanks guys. Went in to check the bike this morning and the tape had given way on the lever - LOL!! Must have gotten firm overnight.

It is back to about 90% I reckon. I took it for a ride and it stops alright!!

I will give it a few days and then bleed again. Should be all good.

What a saga though!!

I did Throttle Cables, Brake Lines, Clutch Cable, and full Chrome Controls, Master Cylinder and Clutch Perch.

HOLY COW!! 2 days and now its done!! Well... 2 days and a few beers.

Cheers
Mongrel
