I need help. I had the car off all summer and put it back on this weekend. I used my mightyvac to pull the brake fluid back through and then did the pump and bleed to get rid any remaining bubbles. The fluid now runs clear but I still have no pedal. Did both wheels several times and still no luck. Any ideas, suggestions? I have an '07 Ultra with an '08 ultra car. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any brakes? The reason I asked when I put my hack on I used a vacuum pump and got brakes but not what they should have been. Then I go a friend help me hand bleed them and they got worse. I rode it a couple hundred miles if that and now I have great brakes and pedal. So I am guessing I had some bubbles and they work them self's out.

The brake pedal is hitting the sidecar mount so I haven't tried the brakes. "Keep bleeding" is all I could think to do as well. I have run a whole bottle of DOT 4 through her and patience is not my strong suit but a hiding bubble makes sense. Thanks for the input.

I do not see why not or you could call and make a reservation. Not sure how many will be there do to a Ural rally in Florida. I know Eddie vice president and I will be there hopefully a few other.

I am planning on leaving Macon around 10 to 11 AM and going to take back roads highway 41 to sparks then to the park.

I will PM you my phone number.
Later
Jeff
