The GS' lever does need to be brought nearly all the way to the grip. The stopping time is longer than what I think it should be. The question is whether this is just due to the feel of a cruiser with all the extra weight it has, or because the brakes from 27 years ago arent as effective, or if I have a problem with my brake line.
I double checked to ensure there were washers between all the connections, and I rebled the bike (both normally and with the front end raised with the wheel off the ground.) If there is a problem with the lines, I might be inclined to think it's because they are... (ahem) 27 years old. I can firm them up a bit by pumping them repeatedly, but within 5 -10 seconds its back to the way it was. Even when they're firmed up its still not nearly as responsive as the SV.
Any advice is appreciated!
