Speed Bleeders
Bought a set of speed bleeders for my 03 FLHTI, pretty straight forward change over. Bleed the brakes as directed, but they still fill a bit spongey. Any body had this problem, maybe a fix? New to doing my own maintenance so bear with me.

If they feel spongy you prob have air in the line. Try again. Vacuum pump or the old fashioned method of inserting a tube into a reservoir of fluid and pumping seems to work for me. Careful not to get fluid on your paint.

Just keep running new brake fluid through the lines. The air will eventually work its way out. Doesn't hurt to tap on the lines a little from time to time. Keep all your painted surfaces covered. Don't let the reservoirs run out of fluid during your process. Take your time.
