I'm convinced! After reading all the bleeding posts, I'm going to use Speed Bleeders when I replace the M/C and brake hoses this winter.
Cheers,
Pete

I'm done with bleeding all the 4 wheels using the 2-person's conventional pedaling way, I got all the air out of the lines (or I believe so) but still the pedal feels so mushy and I have keep pedaling for 2-3 times till I get a firm brake, also when I press the pedal deep with out pedaling the brake light in the speedo will light up, am I missing something???

I didn't read all the previous posts, but if you'll put grease around the base of the bleeder after you crack it the 1/8 turn, you may solve the problem.

Good luck!
