RE: Speed bleeders - Houtman_imp - 08-26-2021
There is enough clearance for the SB8125 L but I do not know about the LL , is that one extra long ?

The difference between the two is 5.55mm.
In an earlier post you mentioned that you used the longer one for the clutch on all your bikes. I concluded from that the CB was included.

Ok. Sounds like 8125L has enough clearance.
While researching, I came across this [url=https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0143]motionpro hydraulic bleeder too. If it works, it would mean you need only one of these, instead of speed bleeders at each bleeder.

In the long "run" speed bleeders are the way to go , especially the stainless steel ones.

Because I gotta keep up with the Joneses (or Houtmans) I ordered my set today. Oh boy, new toys!
I have always feared doing the fluids. This should get me off my behind.

Bob, the first time is always difficult and unknown...then it goes easy
Yes, you can do it!

Yikes! [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB, it almost sounds like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5NRH_DxWJE]the first cut is the deepest.

Bob , it is easy if you take the old one out and put the new one in WITHOUT taking the reservoir cap of , less fluid will leak out and than when the new one is in you can change the fluid.

Bob another thing is that you work just above the brake pads, use some cloth around the working area to prevent the fluid spreading out and soak it up instead, ask me how i know this.
And cleaning up after, shortly after, Houtman is right about the cover.
Some brakefluid is likely to exit slowly, just have the new speedbleeder and correct size spanner handy so you can keep this to a few drops.
There is no pressure in the system because the tiny hole in the reservoir ( just in front of the piston and hiding under the small stainless removable cover ) is open and prevents any pressure buildup, however the same pinprick hole also lets the brake fluid slowly gravitate to the brake calipers, that is what you have to catch in the cloth.
This guy has the right idea;

You'll be very pleased with the result;cheers

A little piece of scotch tape over the breather hole on the reservoir would probably slow the leaking even more I bet.
