I had new fork seals put in my 07 1800. now the rear brake petal has to be pumped twice to get it to work my question, how do I bleed the breaks? it is just the rear petal, front brakes work as normal

You will have to go through the entire bleeding procedure. Since the front and rear are linked, there is no way to just bleed the rear. Get a couple of bottles of DOT 4 and go to it.
Search online for the bleeding procedure.

Invest in a factory service manual and follow the procedure for brake bleeding.

Here's the instructions:

Front Brake Reservoir

1: Front Right Caliper Upper Bleeder Valve 8mm
2: Front Left Caliper Middle/lower Bleeder Valve 10mm

Rear Reservoir (under right side engine cover)

1: Front Left Caliper Upper Bleeder Valve 8mm
2: Front Right Caliper Lower Bleeder Valve 10mm
3: Rear Caliper Lower Bleeder Valve 8mm
4: Anti-Dive: bleeder valve on top 10mm
5: Rear Caliper Upper Bleeder Valve 10mm

Make sure you keep the reservoirs full while doing this.
Cover all the plastic parts in case of a spill.
