I have had this bike since new, the rear brakes are crap, the rear brakes on my 1989 softail are better, in january while riding around tassie, we called in to richardson's harlet davidson, i spoke to a guy in the service dept. and he agread with me and said they were crap' he suggusted i should try lyndal racing brakes, but i cant find any one in australia who sells them, any of you guys have any ideas ? the freight costs from america is ridiculous
Telly
Telly i run them with a fair few people including Gidgi recently installing them. They are available from Rollies Speed Shop in Brisbane who are a forum sponsor. Great people to deal with as well.
