I hooked up my sidecar brake line. I cant seem to “ get” any pedal. The sidecar brake does work but rig pulls to the right sharply when used hard/ quick tests. I have one of those brake vacuums air operated, seems to help. How do I get it to pump up? 06 Ultra Classic w/ factory sidecar.
After you bleed the sidecar wheel did you bleed the rear brake on the bike.
Yes, sidecar first, I use vacuum bleeder tool. They work ok, just pedal is low.
Philip, as you look through the technical threads, you’re going to find many many posts with similar comments. Sidecar brakes are notoriously difficult to fine tune. Many possible solutions and many folks say they come to a resolution at some point that is the best compromise possible. Hopefully some of the descriptions are helpful. Happy hunting and welcome to the sideshow!
