The rear brakes even on New harleys ain't that great. The front with dual rotars are really good.
Next time you change the rear break pads use lyndall rear racing pads.
You will notise a big difference.
I had to replace my rear pads at 13,000 miles. They were worn out

I think the Digital Tech brake bleeder only has to be used on the ABS sytems.

We been bleeding the ABS brakes with the MultiVac.

Ain't had a problem with the brakes bleeding them either.

How does the bike know if its a a Digitec or a Multivac.
You are bleeding brake fluid from Brake lines. The sensors are on the outside of the wheels.
And how does the computer know you bleed the lines ?

In my case, the news reports were more than adequate. What's the point of sending a letter when the notification is sent via every media outlet for a few days?
