So here's the rundown, I purchase this 2004 Softail standard fuel injected a few months back. When I first got the bike I noticed that the front brakes felt a bit spongy. The bike only had 15,000 miles on it which is not bad for a 20 year old bike. So, I made the assumption that maybe the brakes have never been flushed in its entire life. Naturally, I went ahead bought brake fluid flush the brakes, had a little bit of trouble getting the air out of the system, but overall got the brakes to go ahead and hold firm. A few days later I noticed that I had some seepage coming from the threads or the front brake bleeder valve. So I searched forums, videos, even asked around what could be causing the seepage. I found everything from using Teflon tape, speed bleeders, and even possibly strip threads or the bleeder valve hole. I bought some speed bleeders, and it worked for about a week; however, the seepage still persisted to annoy the living daylight out of me. So, I went ahead and purchased a hard drive aftermarket caliper, and got a brake line cable kit with some new hand grips to install these 17-in t-bars on the bike. The handlebar job went smooth. I did the whole internally wiring switch packs through the handlebars. Taking off the exhaust to change the clutch cable. And, setting the idle throttle cables to which all went perfectly. Nonetheless, then it came time to bleed brakes.So here's where it gets all crazy. I bled the brakes got firm grip and it appeared that The handlebar job was done and the new caliper was on the bike. So I went for a test ride and the bike road mediocre at best. It felt like there was a warped rotor. And, when I got back from the ride the new caliper had seepage coming from the threads that I had just installed. So, now I'm even more crazy than what I was once before. The rotor was so hot you could have fried an egg on it. And, I still don't get to ride my new ride. So back to the forums and searching again. I'm reading through my service manual, asking everyone, inspecting the bike, pull out the dial indicator and the rotors only showing that it's two thousandths out of tolerance. However, upon further inspection and reading the service manual I noticed that the lower right fork pinch clamp for the front axle is on the bike backwards to its mounting point. Now remember I bought this motorcycle a couple of months back never have I taken off the front wheel. When I purchased it from the Harley dealer they had told me that they put on two new tires and an air filter prior to me making the purchase. So, I flip around the lower pinch clamp to the lower fork on the axle and then notice that maybe the spacers are incorrect to the wheel. I read my service manual again and it shows an image of making a marking on the spacer to remember which one is which so I began to take out the axle. And low and behold the right side spacer is on the left side and vice versa. So come to find out the incorrect placement of the spacers was causing a back pressure not allowing the caliper Pistons to operate and the functionality in which they should. So I flip everything around bolt everything back up, torque it all down with the wheel spinning freely and the bike rides like a million dollars. So, the whole point of me making this post is just to say if you're leaking brake fluid through the threads check your wheel spacers, because they can be causing a back pressure to the caliper and screwing up the whole brake system. And moreover, never trust the steelerships. I hope this finds somebody and helps them everybody keep it two wheels down and peace out.
