Default Speed bleeders

I'm looking to add speed bleeders to my brakes. Does anyone have a part number, or at least know what the size/pitch the threads are? Thanks.

John, you might consider a mighty vac, recently got one and wish I had 35 years ago !! Dang this is more useful than you can imagine.Might be a little more spendy than speed bleeders are but will do that job and many more too.

Dennis kirk # 28-732. Bleeding is now a one man operation and only takes a couple minutes. ;-)

Pick up a length of 5/16 vinyl tubing about 4ft long... Kit doesnt come with enough to make it convenient.

I've used the Speed Bleeders and went back to normal bleeders and a Mity Vac. YRMV.

I've used Speed Bleeders for a couple of years on various Harleys. Get the kit with extra length hose, cut mine in half one for DOT 5 and one for DOT 4. Can't get much easier to use. Why spend more than you have too!

I used a Mity Vac on my old sport bike. It can't compare to the simplicity and ease of using the speed bleeders.

Considering the amount of time I've spent in my life bleeding brakes period (not much at all), it wasn't worth the tool. Speedbleeders.com is the answer. Nice, cheap, and easy!!
