Hi Robbo an easy way to bleed brakes is to use a syringe [ DIRT CHEAP LAST FOREVER ] You can then pull the fluid through also no jar no mess easy and quick. Good luck ;D

Noted! Do you put it in the end of the tube attached to the bleed nipple and do you have to have the level slightly pulled or can you just suck it all through?

I got syringe off mechanic mate, its about 30mm dia and 150mm long I just top up master cylinder then draw it through bleed nipple, Its clear so you can see the air Takes minutes, can't see your problem with carbs are float bowls set and taking fuel to correct level seems very strange all 4 carbs, would understand 1 maybe 2 but not all 4 of the bar stewards ?   :'(

A few years ago I fitted CB900FC twin piston calipers to my CB750F2 & they bolted straight on with no mods required at all

A friend offered me his CB900 callipers but they didn't seem to fit - I might have another look then? Picking up the new calliper pistons today so I'll let you know how I go.

I think I might not have the correct master cylinder - Mine has a rectangular reservoir not a round one...
