Question about 97 Ultra Classic ....

My neighbor has a 97 Ultra Classic and we were going to bleed his brakes with new fluid. Problem is that I could only find one brake fluid resevior. One on the right handlebar and none located below the rightengine guard like it is on my RoadKIng. He doesn't have the bike manual to show us where the rear resevior is located. It there a rear reseviore ? It not, where does the rear brake get its fluid from.Also, what DOT fluid in a 97.

Thanks

The rear brake resivour is located between the front frame tubes....just above the voltage regulator. It uses DOT5 brake fluid.

It used to be under the side cover on the shifter side in 90.
Follow the hose from the caliper and see where it goes.

That was where it was located on the 1989 Tour glide that I rode for quiet a few years before selling it. I wish I still had it today though....that was a solid bike. Absolutely nothing ever broke on it.
