The have a check ball in them ,that allows the fluid to leave but seals when pressure is released .AKA it doesnt allow air into the system.

oh btw, i got a set of speedbleeders and they're marvelous. takes a 20-30 min job and turns it into a 5 minute job.


whats the part number for the speed bleeders?

Goodridge's Speed bleeder part # for hondas is SB8125. i'm sure its the same as the one on that website, as i think the #'s refer to diameter and thread pitch.

i love speedbleeders and mity vac...but...i would rather go with mity vac...removes the need for speedbleeders...
what do i have on my bike? speedbleeders...muaahhahaha...why mity vac? well...speed bleeders need pressure to work...so if you're swapping lines...there's no pressure, they won't work...

Hey Jump1979man, any update on your success with these? Thinking about getting myself some...

Did you get three of the SB8125Ls?

Like Tahoe said, I have speedbleeders and a mity vac. I have some other contraption too, but it's late and my brain ain't working right. I use the speedbleeders with the hose from one of my gadgets. I used the mity vac when I changed the lines and probably wouldn't have been able to complete the job without. WORD OF ADVICE when working with brake fluid:Get a box of latex gloves and wear them when working with the stuff. I now wear my rubbers when working on anything with the bike. Makes cleanup easier and I don't have to worry about getting any fluids on my skin.
