Default Does anyone have Speed Bleeders?

Anyone with experience? How well do these work? Once installed, can I just pump the brake (doing the back), or shall I also use a pump?

I'm bleeding the brakes, not flushing.

Have them on all my cars... I think putting them on my bike would be an excellent idea. Most internal brake issues are caused by moisture suspended in old fluid - degrading seals, corroding components.

I dunno if they make them in our sizes.

I use them (the stainless model) on all my bikes...

Make 'bleeding' the line a very simple one person job.

Yes, they make them for Harleys, -- XLSB3824 is the part no.

it's 3/8 x 24

I ordered mine from J&P Cycles, I'll get the specific web page for you.

I received my Speed Bleeders this past week... (I usually order direct.&nbsp\\; It's a great family-owned business).
&nbsp\\;
Any things I should be aware of when replacing them on my Sporty?

Will these work on the Brembo ABS brakes on the 08 touring?

You may want to check with JP Cycles. I bought my Speedbleeders from them and they hooked me up with the size that I needed. I'm sure by now they are making them for the Brembo brakes. Good luck.
