I've used one of these for years. Works great. Comes in several sizes. Lot's of loops for tying down, I use Rok straps.
If you look to buy something motorcycle specific you'll pay 2-3 times as much...
That stinks but you have to look at it from their angle... if you like their products so much you will buy multiple bags for multiple bikes. They are a business and looking to make more money.
And just some free advice, you may have gotten a different response if you were a bit less harsh...
One other thing not mentioned is to ensure that while you are doing the bleed to keep both fluid reservoirs monitored/filled as the linked system may draw from one or both. Not sure I explained that right since I use a Mighty-Vac and don't use the lever and/or pedal.
I don't recall what the manual says either right now but this is my cut and paste notes that's always worked for me. I use a Mity-Vac so I don't think it matters what order for those 2. Aren't those 2 linked anyway?

I wouldn't just slap dielectric grease on the connectors. I'd spray them with ACF-50 (or similar like Dioxite?) first and let it creep into the connector to break down any corrosion, then pull them apart to clean the contacts with contact cleaner. Then another shot of ACF and reconnect...
If you don't remove the case often and don't mind the hassle when you do, you could drill a hole in the bottom of the case and bolt it to the rack underneath.
No offense taken. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and I've taken his advice often. He doesn't hesitate to help anyone and has my utmost respect. Chastising probably wasn't the right word to use.
I just think his comment wasn't really needed as almost every thread goes off on a tangent at...
OK so I'm guessing that black puck was not black until it was hit with penetrant and a propane torch. I don't know what the pucks are made of and I'm no metallurgist, but I do know heat will discolor stainless steel. Not blacken it but give a multicolored/rainbow appearance.
I'm also guessing...
