Brakes are not so bad to bleed because the pads do stop when they reach the disk and so the fluid has to go somewhere (else). I fitted a tecmoto modified clutch slave to my ST2 some time ago and it was a bitch to bleed as it tends to operate the clutch (a little) I guess rather than find another route.

I watched a mechanic bleeding a rear brake once and he used a large syringe full of fluid. He took the reservoir off, tipped it upside down and removed it from the pipe, stuck the syringe nossle in the tube and forced fluid through (bleed nipple cracked open a touch). I was surprised, but it seemed to work and was a darn sight quicker than the way I normally do it.
