First of all the bleeder nipples are located behind the wheel on the front brakes just like a automobile , you can purchase a vacume from most all automotive parts stores ; or you can bleed the brakes the way i do mine !
The way i bleed my brakes without the need to have someone help me i get a peice of vacume hose from the parts store that fit over the bleeder nipples and use a glass or plastic container and fill the container with just enough brake fluid to submerge the hose so as not to draw air back into the brake system when pump and release the hand brake , i pump the brake lever 3 or 4 times then refill the mastercylinder and then repeat this same step 2 or 3 times and then i do the same on the other front wheel untill i get a firm lever on both wheels ; on the rear wheel i think you only have a machanical adjustment unless i'm mistaken the right rear wheel is the only brake and has cable on the handle bar and foot brake with an adjusters .
The rear adjustment has a wing nut to adjust them , hope this info helps you bleed your brakes , good luck and have a great time with your ride , i'm planning a good ride next week end on the Memorial day holiday hope you do too !

Most brakes are self bleeding and there's no need to do anything but fill the resovoir. Besides, if you only lost fluid out the master cylinder, there should be no air in the line. Unless there is a sponginess to the lever, no need to bleed.

Haven't owned a Honda so I can't speak for them, but the other three brands I've had do require bleeding if you've got air in the lines.
