FYI, for those interested, I just spoke with and ordered with speedbleeder.com sizes are below. 7$ each, 6$ shipping. No affiliation to them.
Brakes, front and rear for my 2014 SGS with ABS = SB8125L this is a long bleeder metric thread 8mmx1.25, the older bikes used the 3/8 x 24
Clutch = SB1428 (1/4 x 28)

clucch bleed screw
the clutch bleed screw is 1/4" but i do not remember the thread count i had a hell of a time figuring it out also because its so close to a metric size. and the easiest way it bleed your clutch is with a syringe your going to be adding 30ml at a time and amazon sells the syringe with a piece of tubing it will not hold the bleed screw real well but add a tywrap and it will work great also turn the handlebars all the way to the right and its a easy fix. you will have to bleed it several times and strock the clutch handle several times real slow . the clutch will make a little oil stream straight up so cover everything and was the clutch several times to get any of the brake fluid off the paint. ps also use a closed 1/4" wrench on the clutch bleed. a 1/4 turn is more than enough.

I also bought a speed bleeder for an '06 that I had... a "good quality" one. It wasn't the right size and was chromed and anyway I came close to ruining the threads in the caliper and if I hadn't stopped myself it would have ruined the caliper. I don't remember what I ended up "discovering" but I do remember that the part was supposed to fit my Harley but it took some exploration to find the right one.
