I would figure out what is wrong in the hydraulic system before throwing money @ the disc conversion, unless you want even more surprises
Thats why whenever a newcomer ask ''Im looking at buying a Lehman''....My reply is Don't do it......!!

What does Lehman have to do with this ? Do you think that maybe the Lehman kit caused the brakes to not work after 12 years ?
Thanks for pointing that out Dan.... No, Lehman has nothing to do with this problem. Actually, my trike is 19 years old which looks and runs beautiful with the exception of this brake issue. Simply put, parts wear out. Plus, to my understanding throughout the years, manufacturer's do not have to produce parts after 10 years. With that being said, I've had an additional 9 great years without any problems. My only problem with Lehman is not providing an installation manual as they did with the Monarch ll's. Thanks again.

My thought is that 1 of the rubber hoses is bad ? Or you are just over looking something. I don't mean this in a bad way, some else might wilk up to it look at it, & fix it in a few minutes? Have had that Done to me more than I want to admit. Did you try backing off on the shoes so there is no drag on them? is the rear pedal right up there on the first pump? Good Luck
IF IT WAS NOT FOR LEHMAN THERE WOULD BE NO TRI GLIDE OR FREE WHEELER .

Not much has changed! same rough ride, reverse worked back then :laugh:
That’s ok….Harley is just waiting for some one else to do the free research and development for them..

Servicars were 3 speeds with mechanical reverse in the tranny from the factory

I stopped using bonded brake shoes many years ago
Experience taught me of problems with premature wear, noise and brake lock up, results with bonded shoes
While this may not be a cure all, it is an over all improvement in braking and worth it IMO
Thanks Jack.... Your suggestion earlier on is why I went ahead and got these. I totally agree with you, and the quality can be seen. I even ordered a second set (both from Amazon) but, the second set even though from the same seller were bonded. I may have gotten lucky finding these rivited ones. With them being red helps me believe even more so..... LOL. Thanks again. Ray ThumbUp
Raybestos brakes use a nice red powder-coat on shoes and pads, quality brake parts you can trust

Ray, the minor difference in the shoes would not be a dealbreaker for me, I have used both types, as long as the backing plates are smooth and lubed they will both perform well
I do understand your concern and I do not begrudge you for trying to get the other shoes
Ray, for accurate setting of your rear brake shoes you can buy a gauge similar to the Amco gauge I have had for 50 years
