Can you please recommend a tool for push bleeding brakes?

Phoenix Systems maxiject-pro brake fluid injector is hands down, the best & quickest tool on the market.
They also have models that cost a little bit less but work just as well. The V-12 is excellent, just less durable which is fine for at home use. https://www.fixmyhog.com/product/v-12-brake-bleeder/ These tools can inject fluid from the caliper, up to the master. This is a better way to bleed because air naturally moves up. Really, you can use the tool in a variety of ways and inject fluid in any direction you want. Have been using the same Maxiject-pro in our shop since 2003. Have a rebuild kit on the shelf. Still haven’t needed it!

I am having trouble bleeding my rear brakes after i replaced the pads.
I have a 2003 883 sportster. I have tried to bleed front brakes and I am not able to get any better braking at the lever. I cleaned master cylinder and replaced fluid with new dot 5, but I have the same issue, the lever goes all the way to the hand grips. the brakes stop the bike I can get the front tire to skid. All my other bikes I can get every good pressure and adjustment. Could it be the caliper?? Thanks for any help.
I can hear my front disks rubbing on the rotor as I ride. The sound goes away when I brake. I put my bike on a jack to see if the wheel would turn freely. I can rotate the wheel but it will not turn freely. Not even a half turn. I've read that I may need to clean out the calipers. Or maybe I need to bleed the lines. Any suggestions.
bought a mightyvac. used it with poor results. gonna be investing in a jims bleeder kit made by phoenix. keep you all posted.
