Thanks Terry.
Yes it is a Brammo Atom2.
Can you access the bleeder screw without taking out the firewall?
Is the procedure to bleed this to pump the clutch pedal a few times, then keep it held down with a 2x4 and then crack open the bleeder screw?

Yes. It's up in there, but the right-sized metric open end wrench will work fine.

I've generally either used a pressure bleeder or someone to pump the clutch for me, but you system should work as long as the pedal doesn't release at all when you wedge it.

Exercise extreme caution when using a pressure bleeder with the small Wilwood reservoirs; they can pop off easily if pressurized.
