The only downside to the Harbor Freight one is you need an air compressor. Ten pumps or so on my bug sprayer one does most of the job. Does not require a ton of pumping. And I take it with me on every ride! Oh ya, also works the same on my clutch.

I am a big fan of the Bug Sprayer Bleeder but for $25 bucks it is worth a try.. Let us know how if works.

I had a T in my lt and rt brake line with a hose going up verticle and capped on both sides. After I would get thru riding all day I'd pop the cap (plug) and sure enough! there would be an inch or 2 of air and I would pour some brake fluid out of the bottle in there and put the cap back on and I would have some Awesome brakes! That T would catch migrating air bubbles thru out the day that you just could not normally reach unless you did some serious twisting riding all day.I loved it. Get a brass T off an ole beetle, with a rubber brake line going vertical.

DD I talked about doing that last year with Marty, lol. Great minds think alike, and apperently so do some of lesser thinkers :mrgreen: I was going to put a ball valve on it at the top so i could easily force the air out and close it.
