bleeding master cyclinder

Finally sorted my brakes out.
The seals were gone on most the pistons and the calipers were also very corroded from both inside and out after a couple of years of all year riding.
I got a pair of refurbished calipers, fitted them and bled the system. I now had properly working brakes but there was still a lot of lever movement before they bit.
I tied the lever to the bar overnight and this morning the lever was solid.
It's made me realise how poorly my brakes were performing previously.
The refurbished calipers were from http://www.powerhouseautomotive.co....-brakes/motorcycle-brake-caliper-services.php

I use my bike daily so the refurb ones I linked to were the quickest option as they came on next day delivery. I swapped them over and sent my old ones back as the exchange ones.
They hold a £70 deposit until you return your old calipers but this worked for me as the bike wasn't off the road.
