Much has been said here over the years about the difficulty of brake and clutch bleeding.
Has anyone else tried these?
I fitted some a while back and have never found bleeding easier.
I had forgotten about them until bleeding my new calipers last night. Do both at once, one hand, no mess ( clear plastic tube from bleeder into cup) piece of cake and only $15 a pair.

Just google "speed bleeders" (Automotive or Motorcycle) there appears to be several companies that make them and they have fitment charts.

I've been bleeding brakes for decades and these things are a Godsend.
