Length of ownership doesn't have anything to do with what I decide is best for the bike. I can't say enough good about the speed bleeders. Having to have two folks to bleed brakes is a pain in the ***. Get the stainless set and go for it. You won't be sorry.

I also like the speed bleeders. And who the hell cares if it's a little larger. Just me I guess, but I'm more about function than chrome and flash.

Speed bleeders come in both regular and long (L) lengths. Speed bleeders are such a convenience and make brake fluid changes a snap...

Thanks guys. I used a 12pt socket to break it loose. Had no trouble after that. Who sell the speed bleeders?
