Default No rear brake!

I have a 2007 Nightster that has a little over 3,600 miles on it. The other day my rear brake stopped working. It was working just fine the last time I road it about two weeks ago. I don't see any leaks in the line but there is zero pressure. I press on the brake and I get nothing not even the brake light. Where do I need to start looking?

Check fluid level and bleed the brake with fresh fluid.

HD has some recalls on brakes. Ya need to see if your model is one covered.
