Speed Bleeders for Motor Trike

[Ridercoach1]

Has anyone replaced their brake bleeders on the calipers of a Motor Trike kit with Speed Bleeders? If So, What Speed Bleeder was used? Thank You and Happy Thanksgiving.

Welcome.

Wish I could help, but I don't even know what / who's calipers they use. I have used Speed Bleeders in Ford Calipers on cars, but unlike some, I don't always have a good result. I have found that something easily stops them up, rust it seems, maybe the spring? I get a good bleed the first time, but it's the next time I have the issues so I stopped buying them, just keep some standard replacements on hand, but they don't seem to get blocked so easy.

I use rubber snap on bleeder caps.

I use several means to blead, the old two person way (pump, hold, open, shut, pump, etc), vacuum pump, air operated vacuum bleeder, and I have a pressure bleeder setup I made from a small garden sprayer. I keep some DOT 4 on hand.

You could take one to match up, but while you're doing that, fluid is gonna flow.
