Anyone know if they make speed bleeders for a 2010 Road Glide Custom FLTRX with ABS? I can't find them on any fitment chart.

Thanks

These were one of the first upgrades I did. Makes flushing the brakes very easy. I used a piece of tubing and a mason jar. Also when you open your master cylinder reservoirs, look down in the bottom. If you see something that is not as clear as the fluid it is water/fluid emulsion. I used a syringe to suck all of it out of mine, an eye droper will also work. I did not have much, but it was not going to flush out by its self. Then proceeded to flush the system.

I installed Speed Bleeders on my 1998 Honda Valkyrie Tourer. The installation, and the brake fluid flushing that followed soon thereafter, could not have been any easier.

I highly recommend Speed Bleeders and will be installing them on my SG when the time comes.

If you have ABS, do you have to take it in for the "digitial technician" deal?

No, just be careful to keep the master topped off with new fluid and dont suck any air into the system.

I put these on the motorcycle I had before the one I have now and on the '09 Ultra. I think they are great.

I've tried a couple vacuum type bleeders and was never satisfied with the results.

The Speed Bleeders work really well for me.
