    I had to back bleed my front brake, as it has always been soft and didn't have good stopping power.

    I suspected air in the line & in order to properly back bleed the line/master cyl., you need to raise the master cyl. up and to the left, so that it becomes the highest point.
    I was doing this by myself and normally an extra pair of hands can be of help on this job.
    To solve this, I used my Ram Mount & arm for my GPS to hold the Master cyl in place while I fussed with the bleeding procedure. The Ram mount ball was already on the right side of the handlebar, so that saved a bit of fiddling around.
    Worked well, see pic;


    Also, the front brake now works a lot better.:)
