mickwinf:
try the tiny hole in the master cyl, it looks like a blind hole but should be clear

hairygit:
Also worth checking the moving pad isn't getting stuck on the excess paint on the moving pad. Often I find removing the paint around the outer edge of the pad with sandpaper, then a tiny smear of copaslip around the outside of it can often help. I assume you didn't have to apply much pressure to get the pad into the caliper housing, as it should almost drop in under it's own wieght.

Bryanj:
From your list the only thing left is the tiny pressure relief hole at the bottom of the reservoir

It was a  senior moment
rebled the system and front  is working fine
Working on rear of bike and cosmetics now so project 1 is going well
Front end complete
Electrics sorted
Engine nice and smooth fires on the button
Removed the swinging arm to clean and loose the brush paint on frame and surrounding areas
Back calliper freed off and new master cylinder seals ready to fit
Rear wheel stripped ready for detail and repaint
Side panels sprayed rebadged and fitted
Seat recovered and rebuilt

Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to post some pics of finished project

Project 2 - Build from Boxes - To become the yellow one
More of a nightmare tying to source parts mainly,without it being an arm and leg
up to date we have had
NOS Front Calliper from Thailand
Switch gear from Italy
Original exhaust from  USA
NOS Headlamp bracket from Germany
Side reflectors and mounts from USA
Front forks from UK
and a share in Dave Silvers

Quite a multi national bike

Just hit a problem with the rear calliper its been over drilled in the bleed nipple so it won't close off and of course the pistons are stuck

We will get there eventually, but suppose its not too bad for 7 weeks to date

Retirement is great fun when you have an hobby like these

Cheers

Completed Tank Paint & Decals today

We could not miss this weather apart from a few midges Keith Jnr did an excellent job of striping/painting/lacquering tanks & Cowls as below

We got the Sulphur yellow match, but struggled with candy antares red from our local paint supplier. Instead I choose from swatchs of candy paints available in rattle cans and picked a BMW Candy paint Silver base and Candy Red/Maroon

I don't think its a bad match - Honda badges are just half in for demo purpose on Pictures removing them now before they mark the soft paint







Didn't take any pics of cowls yet
