What speed bleeders are you guys using for the master cylinders and the clutch.

Forgot what brand I have, but there are those one-way valve type and I have them on both brakes and the clutch. They work as claimed.

I bought a Stockton vacuum type bleeder a couple of years ago from Cycle Gear when it was on sale and use it on my other bike and it also works very well. The first one I have got was probably old stock which the rubber nipples were hard and did not fit the bleeder correctly. Then, after just one job, the vacuum cylinder body broke apart. It was out of warranty already, but the local Cycle Gear gave me a replacement.

Yeah, part of me says you've been doing it the old way for so long, might as well stick with what I know...
