    I have a used MC on the way and I'll need to bench bleed it before I install it. I cannot for the life of me find M10x1.0 to hose barb fittings. I need two so I can thread it in the MC and then plumb rubber hose to the reservoir to bleed it, as seen in this pic below.

    Does anyone have a bench bleeding kit I can borrow?

    I bought a used GSR MC and needed to bench bleed it but I couldn't find a suitable kit available for imports. I went to Pep Boys and picked up a 30" long 3/16th brake line with m10x1.0 fittings on each end for $4.99. I then went to Autozone and got a loaner brake tube bender for free (after return). I used my hacksaw to cut the tube and cleaned the edges really well. The lines go into the MC almost all the way, there is about 10mm of space between the end of the lines and the bottom.

    I didn't take any before pics but this is the end result:
