Default Nervous Taillite
Hi, I have A 1998FLHR with a tail lite that flickers.I understand that in 1997 and early 1998 There was a problem with the front brake master cyclinder The front brake pressure can be boosted with a ball bearing in the mastercylinder .Anyone know how this is done?
Thanx

welcome from NH
the promlem is probably with the switch itself in the master cyl... that is the most common problem .. just flick the end of the brake lever,,, and watch the tail light.. if the light flickers when you do that its the switch.... hope that was some help!!
