Hey guys! I am waiting for Supreme Legends forward controls to arrive..possibly tommorow and want to get a jump on removal of the stock system.  Ive done alot of searching but need advice. I went yesterday and bought a Mityvac. Whats the best way to drain all brake fluid out to eliminate a mess when removing old stuff?? Any tips tricks are gladly welcome in making my job easier. Thanks in advance!

Open reservoir cap 

attach mighty vac to bleeder

open bleeder and vac it all out.

Might need to close bleeder and let the system sit for a little while so gravity brings all remaining fluid down to the bleeder...open bleeder and vac last amount.

Should be just that simple.....Mighty Vac rocks.

Thanks guys.....will the stock system come off whole...or do you need to remove rear resevoir from line and such?

I am not familiar with the Legends, but they will still need a reservoir.  I didn't think they even replaced the master cylinder, just used a longer actuating rod..

 I think it does all come off.From the legends master cylinder you just need to run a brake line back to the rear caliper. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure i'm not.

Sounds about right, the Legends do have their own master cylinder at the controls....from what im hearing and reading it doesnt seem that it will be too bad a job.....Thanks for the responses
