Lost rear braking power with brembo mod

[snrusnak]

I didn't have time to mess with this anymore, then went on the ride sunday with a bunch of local buellers and half way through the day my brake started working. By the end of the day it was back to normal, I had good braking power.

It baffled me at first but I think what happened is when I resurfaced the front rotor I used 300 grit IIRC and it worked well immediately. When I did the rear I used something like 600 or 800 I think. Maybe it was too smooth and as I rode it got better(I still used the rear brake out of habit, even though it wasn't doing anything).

might have been the new pads ; did you sand them a little before putting on. new pads can take a little bit of time before they grab right.

no I didn't sand them, just straight installed.

Netty, I believe the banjo bolt for the brembo caliper is a 10 x 1.00 x 1.75" long. The bleeder is the same thread, just different length.
