This is why I love this forum. I've never heard of speed bleeders. Sounds like my next investment. Thanks for the posts and all the explanations!!!

I put speed bleeders on my new front calipers, bought the extra hose and the bag. I never even used the bag! They're great!! I bought one for the rear and at some point will install and flush the rear system. They've got a good product, thats for sure!!

I bought some tubing and a speed bleeder bag. The bag is not really necessary but it was a convenient and cheap way to collect the brake fluid.

All you have to do is remove the lid off each brake fluid reservoir, unscrew the bleeder valve a quarter to half turn, slowly pump the brake, and keep topping off the reservoir until flushed. When you are done you tighten the bleeder screw and put the dust cover cap on. Takes five or ten minutes per brake.

I have never flushed or bleed brakes before. This was unbelievably easy! Thanks to those on the forum who recommended these! Here is a picture of what I bought. I think I spent around $20.00 plus some DOT4 brake fluid. I can't imagine what the dealer would charge.
Would you know the part # for a 03 FLHTI?
