Ok, I finish putting new bars/cables/lines on my 08 FXD last night and was getting ready to bleed the front brakes. As with my normal luck the bleeder screw rounded out on me. So I went to HD today and got a new bleeder, how ever it is different than the original one. I was told that it was what they now use at there location and it would work correctly. I have always tried to replace with the exact parts in most cases like this. So just wondering what you gents thought.
I have another HD dealer in the area to go to, if need be. I would hate to get home tonight and it not work, and miss yet another day of riding in to work.

The silver boogered up one is the original one FYI
Thanks

 

long as it fits and seals, who cares what it looks like. I installed some speed bleeders in my brakes.

 

Next time i have to bleed brakes i'm gonna make sure i have the speed bleeders. Took me FOREVER to get the pressure up the old-fashioned way.

 

i run speed bleeders in mine! love them!!!
part number SB3824 for the front and rear

 

bleeder is a bleeder as long as threads are same. You're good

 

Thanks everyone for your input.

 

I did the same thing. It was impossible to find the original silver part with O ring, I asked around at several local dealers. You have to use the new brass (?) part, it works but it is not as elegant as the old one.
