Default bleeding brake lines

I am putting 12.5" apes on my fatboy this weekend. How did you guys bleed your brake lines? Did you just use a hose to funnel the brake fluid into a bottle or did you use a kit. If you used a kit what kit did you use?

Thanks,

WARG

I just used the rubber tube into a bottle.
