That's what I did.
Air gravitates up into the MC as a bubble. If you have enough air I suppose you would want to look in MC and pop them. I didn't do that though. Probably only had minimal.
No opening bleeder valve in morning. Just untie and try squeeze again and it might be tighter.
when you squeeze lever it opens up the MC and air finds it's way up and out the resevoir if there is only little air bubbles. Not sure if there are a lot on how much will air out. Just leave on as long as you can overnight. See how it goes.

So you tied the brake lever off and left the MC cover ON (tightened down normally) and the bleeder valve closed? I guess that's what I don't understand is where the air would go if everything is sealed up? How much brake fluid did you have in the MC? Maybe you are saying the air flows and bubbles out in the MC (in the area above the fluid under the cover)?

Zip tie will work just do it. Hard enough for constant pressure.
If you look in cylinder when pulling break the hole opens up and pressurizes brakes. You do that, but when you release it closes up. so when you squeeze you leave it in the open state and allow time for air to gravitate. Not much more to understand or be confused about... just try it. Might help might not. Many have found succesful and others said doesn't change much on grip. Let us know how it goes.

Tied off the lever last night and left the MC cover off (which is what I read to do it some other post). Woke up this morning and the lever is more firm than it was. It wasn't bad before but it is definitely more firm now... I am more confident now that it is good to go.
Thanks rockinred!

I added a BEFORE and AFTER comparison in the orginal post. What a difference!
Also, here is the link to the post with all the after pics:

I have one other item up my sleeve that I will hopefully install this weekend but I will start a new thread on it, since it doesn't have to do with the Wild 1" Outlawz.

Redder: I can't find a way to send you a private msg, so I'm going to try to tag you here. OFF TOPIC.. Your profile pic.. Is it B-29s or B-17s? If it's '17s could you tell me how I could get a copy of it? My dad was a T'Turret gunner in a '17. ... but your pic kind of looks more like '29s the more I look.
Thanks for your time.
