Can you elaborate a little more on what not lined up means. Fatboy250 and I did about 75 miles this past Sat and I had to stop twice to bled the rear disc Im thinking this must be a design flaw. for this many bikes having the same issue. but maybe we can correct it

Hey Guys
There is an adjustment rod below the rear master cylinder with a lock nut on it that goes to the rear brake arm. You need to adjust more free play in the arm to stop them from locking up. I hope that this helps.

Hey Bruce

I appreciate the help! do you mean to loosen that jam nut to allow some movement I ve seen the rod you are refering to. should it be adjusted out longer. there is also a stop bolt to control the height of the pedal. ahh heck Ill just turn some stuff and see what happens LOL

Thanks Ray
