Yea, like to see some pix too. Did you get some speed bleeders? Plenty of ideas on here for bleeding brakes, but for my money, speed bleeders are great. Bought them for my 88 chev pickup, don't do brakes that often, but for a one man job, the work good.

I'm assuming your talking about a vacuum bleeder. (My interp of what you said) Yea I got one. I used to have an 82 Goldwing I had to rebiuld the rear master cylinder and replace the brake line on. Couldn't have done it w/o that handy tool.

No, these are bleeders that have a check valve in them, you just keep the master resrvoir full and pump the brake lever and no air can re-enter the system. Such a simple idea that works. Besides using it on my truck, I used it when I went to SS lines on the front brakes on the bike too. No need to pump the brakes till hard, release pressure, seat bleeder and repeat. The check valve takes care of all of that. Just costs a little bit more in brake fluid. When I say a little, I mean a little, those brake lines hold next to nothing in terms of fluid.
