Has anyone out there with a 2004 R1150R ABS purchased speed bleeders? The chart on the SB web site does not specifically give info for my bike. I have e-mailed the SB people with no response. There is also a "BMW adaptor kit Silver" on the order page that apparently is needed for the rear caliper. I would just like to order the right parts the first time and not find out later that I still need other "adaptor kits". Also on the application chart it shows bleeders for the ABS on RTs, has anyone tried these on the ABS unit itself?
Thanks
Joe

I put them on my K75 when upgrading my brake lines and got them from www.spieglerusa.com
They work well!

I put speedbleeders on my brake calipers, ABS unit and clutch. They are invaluable on the brake calipers and clutch, but if I had it to do over again I probably wouldn't put them on the ABS unit. I do all my flushes alone and I find I can easily control the bleeders on the ABS unit while activating the brake lever and pedal.

I am still serching for the proper bleeder sizes. I went to Spiegler and their information was different that what is posted on the SB web page. Help, anyone?

with many businesses, a phone call works better than an email.

Thanks bikerfish1100, That is exactly what I needed. A flash of clarity from outside my narrow vision. I called and all is well. Bleeders ordered!
Ride safe.

Same thing happened to me. I had ordered the 10 mm threads and it turned out I needed the 7 mm size. We all learn.
