The Goodridge Speed Bleeder makes the troublesome job of brake bleeding a one person task. Replace your original bleeder screw with the patented Speed Bleeder and you are ready to start. The patented check ball design allows the old fluid and air out but not back in, making brake bleeding as simple as pumping your brake lever. Tighten the bleeder, add your favorite brake fluid and you are ready to roll!
* The Speed Bleeder has a built-in check valve to allow brakes to be bled by one person
* Sold in pairs
Pros: Seemed to work OK, as long as there is not a ton of air in the system (see comments below).
Cons: No instructions come with the valve. Turns out things are relatively straightforward -- replace the old bleeder with these, then open the bleeder ~1/4 to 1/2 turn like the OEM bleeder to allow the valve to start working.
I did not successfully get my new front lines and brakes to bleed with these speed bleeders on my dual caliper bike with new lines. There was so much air in the system I don't think there was enough pressure on the valves to get them to open. My solution was to quickly swap one caliper's speed bleeder back to the OEM bleeder, then began bleeding air from that bleeder first. After lots of bursts of air came through the bleeder, I tried the other side's speed bleeder and it actually seemed to be working then. a) this was my first time using speed bleeders, first time changing brake lines, and 2nd time bleeding brakes, so take my words with a grain of salt if you think you know better. b) you may have to be a little extra careful when you bleed the system if using speed bleeders to not allow extra air to enter the calipers/master cylinder like I did, or you may have problems starting the bleeding process.

Fast to Install, Easy to Bleed
By Kirk from Powell, TN
Pros: These speedbleeders were easy to install and make changing brake fluid and bleeding easy and quick. I've bought 3 pair for KD over the last two years.
Cons: Check the size for your bike, I needed the "suzuki" size for my 07 600RR instead of the generic "honda" size.
Comments: When removing the old bleeder screws wrap up everything with rags and put some paper down because brake fluid WILL come out, just be fast and smooth and clean it up with water right afterward.
