Mighty Vac

Today after failed attempts to get the front brake bleed correctly, I broke down and bought a Mighty Vac. Since I will attempt to bleed the brakes in my RS after the winter I thought this would be a good investment, $39.99 at O Reily's.

After hooking it up I followed the instructions to bleed the brakes. The handling is better, but not quite there yet. I pulled the caliper off to tap any loose bubbles that might be in the piston area. I put everything back together with only slightly better results. I will try again after winter break. Not sure the bike is ready to ride, it stops, but probably not like it should.
