How To Change Brake Fluid?

Need to read your manual to see what type of fluid to use, my 2012 Ultra uses Dot 4, but have no idea what your bike uses.
Get yourself a service manual and buy a Mity Vac Bleeder.
Very easy job, especially on a non ABS bike.
Basically, you hook up the Mity Vac to the Calipers at the Bleed Screw. The Mity Vac creates a vacuum. Remove the Lid from the Master Cylinder. Have a helper keep filling the Master Cylinder with fresh fluid while you suck the old fluid from the Calipers with the Mity Vac. DO NOT let the Master Cylinder run dry or you'll introduce air into the system. If it happens, it's not the end of the world, but just makes the job harder than it needs to be.
When you see fresh fluid coming from the Calipers, you're done. Fill the Master Cylinder to the "Full" level and button everything back up.

If I had a long enough hose going from the Mity-Vac to the caliper, could it be a one man job?
Will there be a definite difference in color between the old & new brake fluid?
Thanks
