Default SPeed bleeders

Going to change the brake and clutch fluid on a '14 flhtk. Anybody use a speed bleeder on these yet? If so which one. Thanks

used these speed bleeders on the front of a 05 road king brakes. they worked very well. better than pump i used also.
wondering how long they will last. hoping they do not gum up easily.
i did have the local mechanic order for me so i got the right size.

I have thought about those speed bleeders as I have 4 Harleys and various vehicles that I have flushed and bleed the fluid on the old fashion way. Pump the brake hold and open the bleeder fitting, repeat and so on! That was untill I finally tried the Mighty Vac vaccum pump. Man that is the only way to go. Make bleeding and flushing any brake system a breeze. I would never do this any other way once I learned how to use one of these..

Email them, They didn't have any listed for my 16SG and I had an answer the same day with all the part numbers.

I have been using a vac pump for years and nothing works better no lights or issues. Make a catch pot and you are good to go.
