just throwing this out in case anyone in the know still looks here.
My old wedge triple mod, 96 Ultra, likes to lose its brakes after being ridden a bit, like warmer the motor is the worse it gets. when it happens, the lever goes to the bars on first squeeze, then it will come back on second squeeze, and if you pump it, it gets all of its braking pressure back. This can be scary when you rip it up to 135 miles an hour and there is a corner is coming up, LOL.
So i did a teardown last year, replaced the pads with some better looking used ones, added lightweight brake rotor and hub, replaced master cylinder with a Wildwood and the line with a braided stainless fancy one. And guess what, problem is still there! No change.
I bled the brake many times and cant get rid of it.
Any ideas? I guess maybe the wildwood could have some bad parts in it from being old but just seems weird that it works fine until your on your second or third hot lap around the house.
what should I replace next?
BTW its the caliper that has the coolant going through it, so liquid cooled, or liquid warmed, im not sure which at this point...
