Default Brake Bleeder size discepancy?

Im wanting to replace the brake bleeder screws on my 2018 Softail Slim and 2020 Softail Deluxe with spleed bleeders. Im getting differing bleeder screw sizes from different vendors and also read different sizes for same bikes on this forum? SB8125L from Speed Bleeder Sales folks, 3/8x24 from Dennis Kirk and J&P Cycles etc.1/4 from another? Im pretty sure its going to be either 3/8x24 or the 8 x125. Anyone switch over and know which it is for a 2018 and a 2020 M8 softail ? Thanks

For anyone who does want to know for sure, they both turned out to be 8x125, Speed Bleeder part number SB8125L or SB8125L-SS if you prefer stainless steel. .
