Well mine wont even bleed, was speaking to a guy who's had a couple rsv's and he said take the caliper off wedge something inbetween the pads hold it upside down (as the nipple is on the bottom of the caliper:confused) and as high as poss as they are prone to locking air in, sounds like in theory it should work so gonna go try it in a bit:thumbup

You're supposed to tilt it one way then the other way, worked on mine and its been fine for 5000 miles

The southern cross mod can be easily done yourself if its just drilling out the fixxing holes and tilting the master cylinder forward a bit
