One could also just make a splitter down by the caliper...worked pretty well for mine.
Works well for all the monos too if I'm not mistaken.

Sort of a splitter in my Monoshocker -
One brake line to one caliper. Instead of a bleed nipple on that caliper there is a hard crossover pipe to the other caliper. And that second caliper has the one and only bleed nipple.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I have a spliter I used on my undertank mastercylinder 14mm

I found gravity with my lever bungied to the bar the best way to get the oxy out and have the system work

I had the highest lever and never came too close to the bar to lock the wheel and it felt great with feed back and until I felt I over built my /5 and missed a maintance period that cost my rear disc system I would have lived with the extra weight of my Rubber cow

Now my Bike is SWB and back to drums with a good strong motor...............

That sounds like a much more sanitary solution...looks like I may be re-visiting the plumbing a bit.
