I am putting bars on my 06 street glide and am having some problems getting the brakes to bleed. I have read almost all of the threads here on bleeding brakes. I am using Russell Speed Bleeders. I have used speed bleeders on my 98 fatboy and they worked great. But not having much luck on my 06. Questions do I need the cover on the reservior for this to work? Also can I bleed both (duel front brakes) at the same time or must I do one at a time. I know these are simple questions but I gotta start somewhere. Really want to button the job up and ride!!!

By the way, all new cables and lines (Barnett). Checked all the fittings and they are tight.

Thanks for the help

 

I don't have experience with the russell brand, but if your bleeder has the T connection, you can bleed both at the same time. take the lid off the m/c and follow the directions of the bleeder.

bleeding these things by hand, the old fashion way, is almost impossible

 

buy yourself a good vacum bleeder. I've heard of speed bleeders but never used them.
