Default Frickin front brakes

So anyway, been trying to bleed the front brake on the sporty. Tried everything, I thought. Rebuilt the master cylinder, front caliper, double checked the new line. Still no pressure at the lever. Googled a bunch, then ran across a old thread from six years ago on the XL forum. When I put the new levers on didn't notice the differance in the size of the cam the pushes the piston on the master cylinder in. DUH!! Anyway two minutes on the bench grinder and walah! Works like a champ. "Note to self" Google it before you drive your self nuts. Silly things that stump us.
