Off to school. Catcha later.

 

Chuck...careful application of painters tape..lots of it it. Our hands aren't as steady as they used to be.

 

 

Ok, I have to ask; What is a "doorwall?"

 

no , I opened the bleeder valve to compress the pistons into the calipers ( because you’re not supposed to force fluid backwards in anti locks) then after replacing the pads, I pumped the lever to return the pads into contact with the rotors (stopping to top of the master, so as to not run it dry ).

 

some people just call it a slider.

 

I would bleed the brakes. I use a vacuum bleeder. Obviously very important not to allow the reservoir to get too low and introduce air bubbles into the ABS module under the seat. Then it's a trip to the HD dealer.

 

this I am aware of. I used a vacuum pump last year to replace the dot4 fluid. It takes two people because the master cylinder has such a small capacity.

 

I have long arms.

 

I have trouble with bleeding regular brakes, never done ABS. Sounds like a pain in the ***.
