Inquiring mind...random thinking.
The m/c on my 83 works best just after its bled. Seems I have to do this periodically . I notice the pedal going farther the less use/longer it sits. It has been siting about a year now (busy) and the pedal is no where close to normal. It stops with the back brake engaged but I have to push farther.
I don't see any leaks, its not spongy, what is up? Would an upgraded M/C be the ticket?
Anybody swap one out of a more modern sport bike or somesuch?
I know the front brake does most of the work, but the 83 has linked brakes and it just doesn't stop well without both.
thanks,
Pman.
