The ofishul bleeding your semi hydraulic inboard disk method

Ok my method is to remove the cap on the reserve (behind the horncast) then syringe the fluid up through the calliper until the air is pushed out. Then squeeze the lever and nip up the bleed bolt. The wheel is out the forks and laying flat whilst doing this.

Is there a different way?

That seems a good way. I lay the wheel flat too and that certainly helps in minimising bubbles down there. My master cylinder is on the headset but I always take the lever off and depress the piston with a pencil. I presume if you are taking the horncasting off you could make sure the piston is fully depressed each time you pump too?

Good luck. Sometimes I get it to work very quickly. Other times, well we have all been there.....

Any ideas where I can purchase the two part bolt that holds the banjo?

Be very careful if you run BGM or fat dampers or the first time you brake hard it will snap it straight off.

Are we talking from experience here? I'd imagine your brake lever hits the handle bar, whilst you hit Wots in fro t of you :o

Yes from personal experience.
luckily it just snapped off the part you put the bleeding hose over.
