They rock. I've had them on the front calipers for a few months now... no issues so far. Makes brake bleeding fun!
Speed Bleeders Anyone??
Does anyone own these and have any opinions? Thanks

i just put them on my front and rear a couple of days ago..
first time working on my brakes and it made things easier on me.. after i was done, i was thinking.. this wasnt as intimidating as i thought
if you do both, keep in mind they come in a set of 2... i realized this too late and was pissed i had enough for 2/3s of my motorcycle =p

the ones I have dont have any thread locker. What kind should I put on? Do you just pull your old bleeders out, screw these in. Hook up a hose to them, crack them open then pump the lever while pouring more fluid in the resevoir?
they are a god send, they make brake bleeding extremely simple. I bought mine from a www.summitracing.com, a large car performance mail order house, they were like $6/ea for the same part
Yup, these things make brake bleeding so simple . Just crack the bolt open and pump-pump-pump that old fluid out, no need to close the bleed screw in between pumps anymore. I can now bleed both front and rear in 5 to 10 minutes.
I've got 'em on my '96 600R. They make bleeding really easy. Every time I go through tech with that bike, the inspectors can't believe how little squish there is in the brake lever.
I just ordered them ....I have yet to perfect the bleeding process with my back brake.... cant get all the air out. Hope these help.
Thanks peps for informing me of the excellent product, these will be great.
FYI for anyone wanting to buy, I found these direct at
http://www.speedbleeder.com/
and they sell individual for $7ea (OEM steel) so you can just buy 3. You will also have the choice to buy stainless steel versions for $15ea. I picked up their bleeder bag and hose for the hell of it. Simple shipping was $4.95.
Once again thanks to users for cluing me in and BIG THANKS to R6MN for putting up a forum where people can learn. Didn't see any from site sponsors.

One word of caution, be careful how force you use when you tighten them....I snapped one off in my caliper with very little force. And they are not easy to get our once you snap the head off!
+1. I had one snap off in one of the rear brake cylinders on my VW Jetta. Huge pain in the ass. Just be gentle when tightening.shane431 said:One word of caution, be careful how force you use when you tighten them....I snapped one off in my caliper with very little force.

anything that makes bleeding brakes easier is an absolute blessing... i'm all for em
I just installed a set front and rear today on my 05 and I must say they are quite nice:thumbup
These things really do rock. Just keep a good eye on ur reservoir level, it bleeds out quick. I will always use these on any vehicle I can.
Damn that is sweet...I'll have to get them for my next bike.
Ya be careful I snapped one in my caliper. It wasn't too hard to take out with a drill and extraction bits. The guy at speedbleeder.com even replaced the broken speedbleeder for me. Great customer service.
i cant find our make/model on the site, do you remember off the top of your head what the size was?bummedwi said:What size? Part number?
