Speed bleeders

[chuckycheese]

Hey all..and welcome back! What's the scoop on speed bleeders? They sound like a fairly good option...do they work as advertised? Is one brand better than another? Do they leak? I've seen "Speed Bleeder", Russell, High Performance, Goodridge, etc. Thanks to all.

By the way, I don't need directions on how to bleed my brakes without them.... 'cause I already know all about that; I just thought they sound pretty good and would make it easy to change my brake fluid more often than I might, otherwise!

I installed Russell speedbleeders when I installed their SS lines. They work fine.

You open them up about a 1/4 turn and pump away until the air's out, then you close it. They have a one-way valve.

Thanks

Thanks, Keith...I'm going to put them on when I install my new brake lines. Bobo...as Keith says you just open them up 1/4, or so, and there's a spring loaded ball bearing inside that goes up and down allowing air out...but not back in. 8)

Wow! Major Relief! After reading the title I thought for sure this thread was going to be about an organ donor who met his maker! ...just kidding

CC, I have them on my 86 Concours and they work a treat. My 81 GS750EX is next...
