Default Front master cylinder problems 14-16 models

So just for a little introduction, I habe a 14 FXDL that has a problematic front master cylinder. I've gotten it to bleed out and work decently for the most part, but last night on one of our first chilly VA nights, the master cylinder was not pushing the lever fully out, causing the front brake light switch to stay on and cause a trouble code. I know at my work we have seen several of these, I was just wondering what others are experiencing on these?

I don't personally like the 11/16" master cylinder, I'd like to change it out to the Brembo front dual master cylinder from the 08-13 touring model that way it would feel same as my bagger. Has anyone else run the Brembo master cylinder on a 14 or newer Dyna? I'm concerned the new BCM style switch housings may not work with this.

Any insight would be appreciated.

they have a major issue with the master cylinder and a GREAT MANY have been replaced under warranty by the MOCO... if you are still under warranty I suggest taking it back, in most cases they bleed it once and once it acts up again they will replace.. on mine 3 days after they bled it out it was soft again and then replaced
