Default 2009 Road King

Having brake issues. I’ve replaced both master cylinders front brakes are find. The rear brakes on the other hand I can bleed it get all the air out. Take it for a ride and have air back in it. The last time it went two days without issue. Now back to no brake peddle fluid level hasn’t moved. Scratching head.

Not yet I was hoping I missed something stupid before having to replace it.

Have to ask why you replaced the cylinders? Did both work before you did that? Are the replacements new/used? OEM or repops?

It had set up a couple years before I bought it and it had no brakes. Powder coating around both of them had chipped off. I just removed rear caliper 3 out of 4 pistons were froze up took it apart clean everything really good we’ll see if that fixes it. Fingers crossed!!!
