IDK where to get a line because I don't even own a 720. The little box on the firewall is the clutch damper, and you can bleed it just like you would brakes. There is also a bleeder on the clutch slave cylinder to bleed as well.

Do both, starting with the one closest to the master cylinder.

you need to bleed both. the clutch does not get hard like the brakes. Bleed until no air is seen coming out.
