    Default Speed Bleeders

    I'm looking for the size for speed bleeders for the rear brakes on my GL 1800 with a HTS kit. I believe it has VW calipers. I'm planning on changing the brake fluid and thought the speed bleeders would make the job easier.

    I was hoping that someone who has flushed there brakes on there trike would know which bleeder it takes. I would like to have them on hand before I do the service. Thanks for the speedbleeder chart.

    If you get a metric thread pitch gauge you can pick the right bleeder from the above link
