Member Contributer Daniel Paul Posted February 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 12, 2008 Check the banjo bolt for the front brake master cylinder... I saw these on a VTR that was on eBay. Does anybody here know who makes them or where I can get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I can't see the pic, but it sounds like a double banjo Speed Bleeder. I have one on my F4i, they're very handy! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlecreek Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 goodridge makes them, you just have to find out what size goes on the bike you wish to put them on: http://www.motosport.com/street/search.php...t=badger-street oh, i am not advocating this website as a source; it was just the first place i found a nice shot of the goodridge stuff. do a search on goodridge and you will have plenty of options.

Member Contributer fallzboater Posted February 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 12, 2008 My front brake mc (Brembo) has an integrated bleeder, but I have the bleeder banjos on both my clutch mc and slave. Anywhere that the banjo is at a high point, it makes things really easy. Mine, along with my custom-length lines, are from Galfer. These are not the same as speed-bleeders, which have a check valve. I suppose you might be able to use a speed-bleeder with a bleeder bango, but I use a Mity-Vac for a dry system, then the standard pump-and-turn method to finish off, works fine.

Member Contributer JZH Posted February 13, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 13, 2008 Not exactly cutting edge stuff--they've been around for ages. I put them on all my bikes to make bleeding easier. One tip: Don't use an alloy one like shown in the pic. Actually, I don't think the banjo bolt is a really a potential problem, but alloy banjo hose ends are a big no-no on a street bike, as they are subject to corrosion and breakage. Double-banjo bleeder bolts are also available in stainless and cad-plated. Mine are also Goodridge, but I think all of the major stainless brake line suppliers have them.
