Update....
Tried using both the hand vacuum pump and the electric vacuum pump with speed bleeders. I could not get a good seal where the vacuum hose fits over the bleeder nipple. It kept leaking air and was impossible to tell if air bubbles were from the the brake line or air leak. I was using clear Tygon tubing.
Had more luck with the self bleeders and pumping the brake pedal.
the speed bleeder eliminates the use of any other bleeding type device. its the brake pedal and master cylinder that does all the work. as for a hose over the end of a bleeder to catch fluid and not leak air the tighter the better method is best. with a speed bleeder you'll get no air bubbles from the bleeder when your not pressing the brake pedal. you'll get no air bubbles going back into the bleeder unless of coarse the check valve in the bleeder is faulty or was rendered useless due to junk in the fluid from old dirty nasty brake lines that havent been replaced .
The problem I would have with it are the clamps. It's very cramped around my m/c with tubing, residual valves, and frame members
ahh the price of modifications
