NEED ADVICE!!
Front brakes have been an issue for months on this bike I bought. Started of with intermittent consistency in pressure, sometimes completely going soft. Rebuilt MC, Didn't work. Took Front MC apart, noticed pitting in piston cylinder walls. Bought brand new after market MC, up graded to HEL front stainless brake lines and replaced front calipers pistons and seals. Have bleed the brakes for days on end using mity-vac, traditional method, tapping union with rubber mallet, unbolting calipers and raising them, zip tie over multiple, multiple nights, prayed to Jesus, and still not getting completely firm brakes. Front brake will not lock up even going 10-15 mph. Steady fairly firm pressure but brake lever will bottom out where it should be getting really hard about half way through the squeeze. Calipers walls are not pitted, very very slight corrosion, polished up with 0000 steel wool. ANY input or ideas are welcome!!
Thank you in advance!!!!
