Can you explain how to bench bleed the master cylinder. I know how to bench bleed a car master cylinder but have never done one from a bike before. Thanks...

Be careful! Cashiers checks are often used in these scams! As I understand it, they send you the cashiers check, and your bank says all is fine. At that point...
Maybe an international bank check isn't a good idea but why don't you have them Paypal you the money (plus the 3%) if they want it so bad. I'd bet that's a lot...
