First of all, The brake didnt work when I bought the bike.

Third of all you can run what you want and trust.... I dont trust the brake that HD puts on, I've heard to much bad about them. I'm not replacing pads all the time to find out that the stories I heard are true.... In 5300 miles the brake shouldn't be totally out of adjustment on the leaver... And the pads are only 1/32 worn off from new. So they may or may not have been replaced....
I'll use what I feel will work the best for me. And its not HDs setup, to me its already proven to me that its a poor design. They must agree too, since they changed to a different style of brake.
PS I'm a retired after 40 years, class 8 truck mechanic. So I do know just a little bit about brakes...
4th of all, you can use a rock as a chock if you want...:laugh:
PS We all just like to try to help others out a little if we can. We're a fairly friendly bunch. Not like those of them at the HD forum.
By the way, I'm Scott...nice to meet ya!
