When bleeding the caliper, you always want to place the bottle at least 5 cm above the bleeding valve to avoid air bubbles being sucked into the system whlie the bleeding valve is open.
Placement of bottle is irrelevant since bottle has some air inside anyway. What matters is that you have hose going up from your valve because that hose has trapped fluid without any air which then prevents air of coming back. However, if system is pressurized from master cylinder like here, air cannot come back against the pressure as you are opening and closing the valve. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the tips. Rebulding the breaks is my week end job today ! But my question is about your topcase with the back seat. Have you a reference for it ?
Thank's
It is standard airhead RT top case. It bolts on ST rear rack with some U brackets. Only thing, you will need to extend signal lights so they are not hitting the case. I’m very pleased with end result. If you decide to do it, feel free to reach out at airheadbarn@gmail.com and I can share some photos. Thanks for watching!
Nice work , is this possible on a R100RS 77 ?
I suppose you have dual Ate brakes on your bike. Here is the video for single disc, same brakes. Thanks for watching.

@@airheadbarn Thank you , I have spoked wheels ;-) build 1977
Where do I look for a conversion kit for a dual brake snowflake rt wheel?
Another beautiful conversion. What accounted for the disc adaptor being slightly wrong size?
My best guess is that Matt did not have the most accurate measurements. Thanks for watching!
