Thanks, folks, for the suggestions on the Neoprene Seal Savers vs OEM boots in my last posted question.
Now it's time for some air bleeders. A quick eBay search says anywhere from 7 to 27 dollars gets them purchased.
Suggestions? Comments? Warnings? Recommendations?
Enjoy your Good Friday and Easter Sunday

Motion Pro bleeders are the best IMO. Just make sure to release pressure when the bike is vertical (so both forks are under the same load) and under it's own weight. They're also nice when tying down a bike as you can release the pressure. Just don't forget to release the vacuum created after you remove your bike.

They are all basically the same (and probably all made by the same place in China anyway). Tap them at the start of your ride, and anytime you stop for a bit as pressure does build during a day of riding. It's become a habit for me that everytime I sit on the bike I tap the bleeders and check my petcock lever (that second one is just from painful stupidity lol)
