With only .2 of an hr allowed to complete the repair, you know they are not test riding them.

 

For what they are actually doing I'm not sure a test ride is needed.

 

Just a few minutes ago...today...did I say just a few minutes ago?? I was pulling out of a parking lot and my back brake bottomed out without stopping the bike. Shook me up some. Used the front brake to get home. I'm no mechanic...wish I was. Gotta have it towed to HD unless I want to ride 30 minutes with just the front brake.

 

Had my brake switch changed 2,000 miles back (not blead) and works great. I do keep my emergency brake adjusted to specs, when adjusted the brake pedal is where it should be. As pads wear the brake pedal travel will be more. Another + I use my emergency brake all time, especially when warming up in nuetral.

 

On my 2008 Electra Glide there was a steel mesh around the rear break line. After a couple of years of rubbing, it wore a hole in the break line. Same thing, pushed the pedal and nothing. Problem, I was in Jerome, Arizona late on a Saturday. Wouldn't find a Harley shop opened until Tuesday. Sooo we rode home just using the front break. Not sure if there is that mesh on the Tri-glides. Did you get the break switch changed on warranty?? The recall failure wasn't for failing breaks, but for stop lights inop. Good Luck!

 

Actually the recall is for failure to function and possible leakage causing fluid loss, mine suffered the leakage. It looks like this guy has an 08 so your probably right on the money on the cause.

Update: my back brake problem was the brake light switch. It broke and allowed fluid to leak out. Harley fixed it. Good as new.

 

You mean there really are rear brakes on the TG?

 

I have the stock set up and I can lock them up on mine. Took the parking brake off 3 years ago and have never missed it.
