Hey Folks,
Good to be able to tap into some advice here tonight.
I adjusted my rear brake lever travel on my '09 Fat Bob tonight. I am 6'2" and needed to drop the lever down. I rotated the rod into the brake cylinder pretty much as far as I could, tightened the lock nut and the new position is perfect. Problem, the brake light stays on all the time now. I guess I shortened the rod too much. Bike rolls fine in nuetral so no caliper binding up.
Any experience with this?
