Speed bleeders?

[Forrest39]

Has anybody tried installing speed bleeders? Look like part number SB3824 with size 3/8 X 24 would be correct. I found their website www.speedbleeder.com
Thanks for any input!

EARL'S

I have had Earl's 280021ERL Solo Bleed valves installed for a few years on both tigers. They work and allow bleeding the hydraulics "Solo"!

I like that but have learned some limitations. And how to deal with them.

When the hydraulic lines are full of air, which is compressible it will take a lot of pumping on dry circuits to get things going. Solution is to back out the bleeder to the point that the spring loaded bits are barely in contact with the seats.

The good? You do not need a helper. Faster too. Bought from Summit.

Thanks Rick,
Did you use the same size on all 4 corners? I ask because for the speed bleeder flavor, i saw an eBay post that suggests different sizes for front and back...
Cheers, -Kevin

3 corners

Actually only need 3 solo bleeds on a Tiger. Two on front axle an only one in back. Sold in packs of 4 Use #4 on clutch slave.

Never really thought about that, but it makes sense!
