I took the opportunity to swap out the stock bleeder valves with ones from Speedbleeder. I love these things, they truly make a two man messy job into an easy one man job with little to no mess.
Note the color of new brake fluid in the reservoir

A simple job, went for a short ride around the block and tried some hard stops from up to 40mph. Brigitta stopped just fine, no leaks where the new speedbleeder valves were installed and I had her rear drum brake as backup!
Half a 8oz bottle went into each brake circuit, one for the left and one for the right. The old fluid came out clear and I added new until I saw no bubbles....

Good to go! Maria's next.

Those Speedbleeders are remarkable little gadgets.
Dear Charlie6 (Dom):
Based solely on the inspiration provided by this post, I went out into the garage and made a list of the little maintenance projects I wanted to complete on Fireballs, a 1995 BMW K75.
Then I got out all the tools. Then I poured myself a rum and coke. Then I called the mechanic and drank until he got here.
By the way, some time back you mentioned watching "Streets of Fire." Diane lane is so hot in that movie. Rick Moranis's lines are so feeble. And the star never went anyplace. I have been looking for the soundtrack so I can download the last number.
Fondest regards
