    Hi All,
    I'm pecking away at getting my '86 low budget VF500F back on the road and am looking to replace my rusted, rounded off brake and clutch slave cylinder bleeder valves. I'll bet there are some listed as fitting other bikes that are affordable and that will work. I haven't had any luck sourcing any that are cheaper than $6.95 each on E Bay. Any leads will be appreciated. Also, I would cheerfully pay $10.00 plus actual USPS postage for 4 good clean used ones if you have some spares.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have OEM bleeders off of my 01 & 09 calipers and slave cylinders as I bought speed bleeders for both bikes, you're welcome to them but not sure if they are the same size.

    Take them in to your local car parts store and see if they can match them up most places have loose bleeder screws.

    ^^ that'll work, but getting the same (as OEM) length is critical. Metric of course.
