    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

NEED ADVICE!!
Front brakes have been an issue for months on this bike I bought. Started of with intermittent consistency in pressure, sometimes completely going soft. Rebuilt MC, Didn't work. Took Front MC apart, noticed pitting in piston cylinder walls. Bought brand new after market MC, up graded to HEL front stainless brake lines and replaced front calipers pistons and seals. Have bleed the brakes for days on end using mity-vac, traditional method, tapping union with rubber mallet, unbolting calipers and raising them, zip tie over multiple, multiple nights, prayed to Jesus, and still not getting completely firm brakes. Front brake will not lock up even going 10-15 mph. Steady fairly firm pressure but brake lever will bottom out where it should be getting really hard about half way through the squeeze. Calipers walls are not pitted, very very slight corrosion, polished up with 0000 steel wool. ANY input or ideas are welcome!!
Thank you in advance!!!!
