Not sure what brand this one is but looks like this:

He has a quick disconnect of course on the handle for the connection to the compressor hose. His had an extra bottle that you can add brake fluid to a the fluid reservoir but looks like it was made for a car, for me, just need to keep an eye on the fluid reservoir as your running it, couple seconds of bleeding, then add more fluid.
His did not have it but I did see on Amazon they have versions with 2 vaccuum pick ups so you can bleed both sides of a dual front disk brake system at the same time.
Edit: found the box

Last night I installed Legend Evo A rear shocks and ordered a 3.3 gln tank from HD.
This is for my 2015 48 that I just picked up, 2100 miles like new. I looked at 22s but I wanted spoked wheels.
Sold my 07 883L last month

Finally took my new to me 2007 XL883 out for a short 6 mile ride. Due to recovering from a back injury the day I picked it up from getting MD inspection and new tires. Finally felt good enough for a short ride. I also drained the tank with a siphon hose and put fresh 93 octane 10%eth gas into it. Plugs in it were Screaming eagles, they looked good but put in some iridium NGK plugs and I'll keep the SE plugs in a swingarm bag when I get one. Going to put the progressive 412 Shocks I just got into it next. Bike has a lowering kit in it now. I scraped twice today turning around at the end of the court.
