AK, nice write up, but you can actually do this whole job without filling the Motive Bottle at all. I do it to avoid mixing fluid of different kind as I experiment a lot. I do have the same exact setup as you with the Longacre bottle and the Motive bleeder. Here are the steps that will be different.

#1 Once you remove the old fluid like AK said, fill the master cylinder with new fresh fluid.
#2 Put the Motive cap on and pump it to 15psi like AK said. Release the nipples on one caliper. Once you are done with that caliper, go to the front and check the fluid level to make sure it isn't below half. If it isn't, bleed the next caliper the same way as AK's.
#3 After two calipers, you will twist the cap off and fill the reservoir with fresh brake fluid. Repeat step #1 on the remaining two calipers and you should be all set.
#4 Check the fluid level as your final step of course.
