  @declan That's what the Spigot ring is for bud.

  The problem is, is there enough metal to machine away.

  The options are, weld it up, machine it down Machine it down, make up a spigot ring Machine it down go with the next available bearing size

  For the moment, the bike is again running, so as I say, I'll put the wheel in the loft and worry about it another time.

  @calum You would think that having the nipple at the bottom would aid bleeding and reduce the air bubbles, but I guess that gravity plays its part and adds disturbance to the fluid? I suppose that bubbles rise to the top and having the caliper upside down may affect the flow as well? I'm no expert but I'm sure that there's been some study somewhere. If you look at most vehicles running disc brakes, the majority have their location's at the 2-4 o'clock position. I guess that's for maximum performance, it would be interesting to see if you swapped it for a left hand unit, with the bleed nipple at the top, would you get better braking performance and easier bleeding? There's always plenty of Ducati monster calipers on ebay and making a new bracket wouldn't take too long - well worth a shot. 😉

  @dtxpower The? Indicating there is only one Mikuni 34? I'm not familiar with anyone that uses it.

  Again, I'm pretty sure now that the 28mm is perfect for that engine.

  You do not need any specific diode, just enter 1A schottky diode, chosse a reasonable voltage and take the cheapest (3A etc. is also fine).To make the build more compact you can also use any other ground source eg from the high beam indicator:
