I've been using a two liter bottle and a length of clear tubing down into a quantity of old fluid to bleed auto brakes for years without assistance. Just keep the reservoir topped off and pump until the bubbles quit rising.

1/4 X 28 SB1428
3/8 X 24 SB3824
depending on year and model
i think yours is the sb3824HD 1978 - 2007 Harley Davidson Softail and maybe 08-10 unless they have changed. the dealer would know the size
just check the thread or bolt size
