Speed Bleeders for a California Vintage
« on: October 10, 2018, 03:04:51 AM »
I'm considering fitting Speed Bleeders to my Cali Vintage.  Has anyone done this?  Are you able to advise which model Speed Bleeders fit on the front and rear calipers?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, put them on mine (and all my bikes).  Put a metric wrench on the bleeders and call them with the size.  Get them in stainless, with their hose and IV type catch bag. 

You’ll be glad you did.  Takes all of 10 minutes.

I need to do this with my '91 California. Trying to do it by yourself is a pain.

If yours are the same as my '04 EVT with gold Brembo.

Front requires 2 SB8125L M8X1.25

Rear SB1010S M10X1.0

These are not stainless, check their site for the stainless number.

Made it fairly easy to change the M/C .
