Banjo Bolt with bleed screw / nipple

Post by GreyImport »

Came across these on another forum......seem like a great way to bleed the MC and the top end of the system.

Anyone used one?

These are excellent for saving calipers where the bleed nipple has snapped/seized!

Never though of fitting them up at the m/cyl!

They are the cat's ass. Every bike I've worked on since I discovered the things has had them. It's even better when you add replace the bleeder screws on the M/C and calipers with 'speed bleeders'.

According to the chart on their website, Nissin calipers as fitted to just about everything prior to 2001, use the SB8125L.
