Did it today, piece of cake. Why isn't this in DIY mods?

Is there a method where you didn't follow any of the others and now you're screwed?

Default Where can I obtain a good vacuum bleeder?

Hello everyone,
Happy Holidays! I am planning on changing my brake and clutch lines to Stainless over the coming winter. Can anyone recommend a good vacuum bleeder and also< I assume it would work on the clutch as well? BTW- I have a '91 ZX11, 23K miles, kind of been an ongoing project since I bought it a few years ago. Just another thought- How about a recomendation on what brand or where to get the stainless lines? Thanks all, and ride safe- FAST, but safe

alarm, I use a vacuum bleeder I got from Griot's Garage and a large IR air compressor, so it's all pretty painless. There are some small hand pump vac bleeders at the auto parts chain stores that should work, too. I've done it the "old fashioned way" more than a few times, with success. It's all good as long as you get the fluid in and the air out.
As for the s/s lines, might first try any of the vendors on the KW Forums site (right here!)
(Vendors, here you go; help out a member.)
Good luck, alarm. Let us know how it goes.
Gear up; stay safe.
