I think I'll get one of those Pneumatic bleeders too.. Wonder how much CFM you need on your compressor for it to work well.
I think a bonus with those things is that if you can get continuous flow you should be able to flush without needing to trigger the ABS pump. Some newer bikes & cars need you to trigger the pump in order to bleed it through otherwise....1980 GS1000G - Sold

You don't need a ton of air pressure to do the bleeding. But you have to really watch the fluid level in the reservoir. It goes down FAST !

I'm not sure from the discussion which is the recommended Harbor Freight bleeder.
Is it this one:

or this one:

The metal one. Plastic handles break easy. Neithets gonna last forever and be sure you don't lay it down in a manner fluid can get into the hose from the canister to the pump

I have had both. Of the two, the pneumatic (topmost link and it says pneumatic on the site) is latest and best in my view. I had a mityvac pump action one for some time, but it eventually broke - I think I ran it over, D'oh! The HF unit was less $ and worked fine but eventually started spewing fluid. The pneumatic one has a replenishing bottle which is tricky on motorcycle, easy on a car. I had my son hold in place. It does not need much CFM or PSI, i think I just put about 50lbs in mine.
With the pump type, I'm sort of just happy to be done, with a firm lever and to have the fluid look clean. It takes a lot of fast pumping on a bike to get the fluid down that tube. But what's really nice with the pneumatic one is that every time I use it I'm sure I have completely replaced the fluid, and fast too, with less room for errors and spills.Tom
