RE: Reverse Brake Bleeding
That looks a little cumbersome. I did something similar when I installed my 6 piston caliper on the front of my RG. All you need is a dental syringe with a small curved plastic tip that fit perfectly in the bleeder screw hole. This is the kind they give you when you have a tooth pulled so you can clean food out of the hole in your jaw.
1) Take the master cylinder cap off and draw some fluid into the syringe
2) Open the bleeder screw on the caliper and push the fluid into the caliper
3) It helps to have someone watching the air bubbles in the master cylinder
4) Repeat until you don't get anymore air bubbles coming through the fluid in the master cylinder
You might have to try bleeding once or twice conventionally once you do the above steps in order to get the lever feel how you want it.
Worked for me.
