Dumb brake question
Yesterday I upgraded the fork springs to progressive springs on my 2015 Iron with ABS. To get to the fork caps I had to drop the handlebars out of the way. Installed springs etc fine bolted everything back together. When I went to take the bike off my pos jack, I had to lean the bike way over to get the jack out from under the bike. Took a little test ride forks were fine but the front brake was mushy like air was in the system. It was late so I parked it and will look at it when I get home tonight. Any ideas what might have happened? Could there have been air in the system that leaning the bike over somehow pushed it back in the lines or something like that?

Bleed the front brake...chances are you got an air bubble somewhere in the line.... with the handle bars back in stock position, check the master cylinder and make sure it is filled to proper level. Let it sit overnight then bleed brakes. I'll bet a couple squeezes and you'll have good pressure.
