Reconditioned the calipers and re installed them have noticed something different as I sit on bike and left caliper bleed nipple is at top of caliper and cable to bottom.On the right side it's the the opposite cable to top and nipple on bottom.Picture is of left side.Never noticed it before the reconditioning.Could I of put them back together wrong.P.S i have replaced 1 of the calipes as bleed nipple snapped.Could I of been sent another left hand side by the breakers.

I think the bleeder goes to the top. I'd have to double check that. It seems to me you got the wrong side when you changed calipers. If you replaced the right side caliper and got a left side, that would make sense.Jordan

Yup, the one with the bleeder on the bottom is installed backwards.Comment

Bleeder is always at the top so the air bubbles can rise...
You could bleed it on the bench instead I guess but I wouldn't recommend mounting one backwards personally.1980 GS1000G - Sold
