Brakes



Well, we got out and took a nice Sunday spin today.  Before we left,
Richard wanted to bleed my brakes, as he had to "break" the line when he
installed my hugger.  He had to do the same thing to his bike.  

Difference:  The movement in the rear brake lever on his ST stayed
around 1" from "resting" to fully compressed.  I now have around 2" of
mushy movement from "resting" to fully compressed.  Talk about losing
confidence in the rear brake!!  We bled her some more with no air
showing in the fluid, and while she tightened up a bit, it was still
pretty bad!  Any suggestions?  Should I just take her to the shop and
let them them deal with it?  I could still ride her because as bad as it
felt, it was still no worse than my Bandit was.  I was just a bit more
careful because I knew my brakes were not as sharp as usual.  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Lisa
