Almost forgot to post this. A couple of weeks ago I was in Kragen Auto when I noticed they sell Speedbleeders. A blister pack of two for $9! I read the small print on the back and they are actually made by Speedbleeders for Kragen and sold under the "Help" brand. They even had the 10mm ones in stock! Sweet, 1/2 price and on the shelf!:thumb


Maybe this should be posted somewhere else since it applies to bike/cars other than just Oilheads????

Terrific information! LOVE those speed bleeders... it's too bad Kragen's webpage (we don't have their stores here) is so difficult to navigate...

The guy who make them lives about an hour west of me. I paid him a visit about 4 or so years ago. I got the "nickel tour" on how they were manufactured,and where the "idea" came from.
Nice person and an amazing manufacturing process. I believe some of the manufacturing and machines are patented.

For those of us "Blue Collar Types" the speedbleeder guy "Mike?" (I forgot his name) was a former Iron Worker.
Yep, the kind of guy who ya see up there on them tall buildings walking those 12" steel beams in the sky without a care in the world.

Thanks...! I will! Now if I can only figure out the sizes I need... it's probably on the speedbleeder page IIRC...

Darn it... K1100 isn't listed, only K-bikes, and I do have ABS and it does need replacement bleeders in the ABS area.
