04 FXDX spongy front brake lever.
any tips on bleeding this setup?. just replaced the front line with a longer one and im struggling getting all the air out. Tried filling it back thru the bleeders, vacuum bleeding, gravity bleeding just loosening the bleeders for a few hours and letting it dribble out. Of course tried the pump and hold way too. Still have a super soft lever. It was perfect before this so I know a firm lever is possible. Just need a tip or two to get it back somewhat easily

I just went through the same thing after new lines and calipers. I installed speedbleeders on my new calipers which made bleeding MUCH easier. I just kept bleeding and kept bleeding and flushed the hell out of the system. Then I pumped the lever about 10 times and zip tied it to the grip overnight. I'm not sure what that does but many posted that method up on this site so I gave it a shot. It has seemed to work.
Here's the link for the bleeders. They were cheap and a good investment!!
