5000 mile streetbob service

i changed oil and filter
inspected and cleaned the air cleaner with warm soapy solution as guide suggests
checked tire pressure and tread
need to tighten wheel spokes

did primary case lube at 2500 so thats covered
clutch adjustment was done at 3000 miles or so so i think i;m covered
changed the plugs for the hell of it
rear belt and sprockets(what am i supposed to do here(
lubed the controls cables at 3000 but i'll do it again
fuel lines and fittings no leaks so okie dokkie
brake fluid use dot 4 bur the rear cylinder is a pain to get to any tricks i should know about
brake pad and discs show normal wear
that looks like the service that the dealer would charge 500 bucks for i think i did good
but any rear brake cylinder tricks would be helpful

if your rear brake works and there are no signs of leak - not sure you need to do anything?
I wouldn't be concerned with it until the rear pads wear to the point that they need replacing.

brakes are fine tightening the spokes om the front and back are different lengths so they are different sounding the rears are more high pitched cause there shorter
i know your supposed to listen for a dead tone and there wasn't yo many most had a nice ping which is what i'm looking for
