Bleeding Underslung Rear Caliper Conversion !

Fitted the new caliper bracket and hose a couple of days ago and have tried for hours even using a mityvac bleeding kit and I still cannot get a pedal.

I have drained a full tin of fluid out of the bleed nipple so the fluid is coming through but there is no resistance at all when the brake lever is pressed, it pushes right down until it hits the fairing.

I have done what others mentioned in lifting the caliper as high as possible , still no difference.

Everything was fine until I moved the caliper so I know it is nothing broken etc.

The only thing that has changed is that I swapped the bleed nipple and braided line over but this shouldn't have made any difference as I think the picture I saw of someone else's bike had also done this.

Any suggestions, did all others who have this conversion have the same problem ???
