Must be coarse thread then. I ordered 3/8-24 speed bleeders and they don't fit.

I tried the speed bleeders and wasn't impressed at all. I'm sending them back.

I am also looking for the correct speed bleeders to suit my 2008 Softail Standard. I am led to believe that as the brakes are actually produced by Brembo that the correct part number for the speed bleeders is SB8125L, which is M8 x 1.25.

Has anyone heard any different?
