just checkin to see where i can find some new bleeder valves for both my front and back brakes. i was trying to bleed the front brakes, since i had a leak due to a loose banjo bolt on the left front brake and both of the front brake bleeder valves are starting to round off making it hard to tighten and loosen the valve. also i need new back brake pads. just wanted to check to see where most people were getting their brake parts, since i am on a tight budget i am trying to get the most for my money. any help would be great thanks guys.

Get some speed bleeders, but more expensive but worth it. Just go to eBay and searcg xs11 speed bleeder and they will come up. Usually $5-$9 each. Do the same for brake pads.Nathan

I got mine at Autozone. Be sure to take an old one in there with you, because they tend to mix them up in their little parts bins. Also, ALWAYS put the little rubber caps over them. When water gets down in there, it rusts the tiny holes shut.
The speed bleeders will only work AFTER you bleed most of the air out. Otherwise, it doesn't build enough pressure to activate them.1980 XS850SG - Sold

Even if you have mostly air in the system, the speed bleeders work well if you use a mity-vacOriginally posted by CatatonicBug View PostFormer owner, but I have NO PARTS LEFT!
