Default Speedbleeders or mytyvac ?
Which is better? Is this the one most are using?
Amazon Amazon


Also, I never had a hydraulic clutch before, but I am assuming both could be used for the clutch as well as brakes. Are the clutch bleeders on the Rushmores the same as the brakes?

I also read that they are using a different fluid for the ABS brake recall. Is it still DOT 4 or is it "special" because it says Harley Davidson on the bottle?

I bought some speed bleeders.....could not get them to work, I tried and tried. I finally gave up and put the stock bleeders back in. Used my my mityvac and boom good to go.
So I will stay with oem and my mityvac.

I've never used speed bleeders, but I do use the Mityvac shown in your first link. I don't know if speed bleeders make it much easier or simpler, but it's pretty easy and simple with the Mityvac, so I'll stick with it.

I have speedbleeders on my HI bike and they are definitely easier than the stock ones but I am starting to think the mytyvac may be easier, yet and we have 3 bikes at my brother's in OR so it would be cheaper as well.

Just don't confuse the Mityvac with the Pos-T-Vac.
