Woops,
Went out of order on direction.

I did bleed the caliper first, but then went to the front banjo before the back.
I also went back to the bleeder valve again but just as precautionary air bubble check. Seemed ok up in the hills yesterday but couldn't hurt to bleed it out one more time and only takes a minute.

As far as the front line not fitting, I didn't notice if that was the case or not yet. I think I compared the new line against the bike and old line and it looked ok, but didn't measure.

I think the length of the rear line is fine. You can bend the cable routing tab on the frame to help with the angle of the line. It's not really pinched off or hard bent or anything though.

No problems to report with the rear brake line in the hills yesterday so far accept for the fact that the SS lines are a bit more sensitive than the stock ones are. (good sign that the bleed job went OK as well) Still waiting on those pads before I can get to the front. Will take the advice posted here into consideration. =)

Thanks guys!
