Even though the brake hoses had a 1975 date code, the brakes seemed to work pretty well. I was tempted to just run some fresh fluid through them and leave them alone.
I thought I could feel just a little drag, and I had new braided hoses from Slingshot Cycles and a new Honda caliper seal, so I figured "Why Not?".
Glad I did.....yuck....
Cleaned everything, deglazed the rotor, installed the new seal and hoses and put her back together. I'm by myself today, so I bled them best I could but really need another set of hands to crack the bleeder and make 100% sure all the air is out.
So far, so good.....seems to have made a difference just pushing it around the garage (it's raining, so no test ride). No more drag and the brakes seem firm.
Gonna let it sit with the handle bars at an angle and see if any more air works its way up top overnight.
