So I'm trying to wrap up a rebuild of my 85 Shadow VT700C. Should have been done weeks ago but stupid little problems keep delaying me.

Right now I can't figure out the hydraulic clutch master cylinder. I tried to bleed it but I wasn't getting anything. I moved from the bleed valve to the slave cylinder union bolt and nothing there either. I then disconnected the union bolt at the master cylinder reservoir and it was completely dry.

There's not a drop going from the reservoir to the line. I have no experience or knowledge with these. Can someone PLEASE share their experience and tips or even vague ideas?

Thanks!
