Hello and welcome from Mid-Michigan.

Most will only greet you on the new members board. Technical questions should go in the correct forum for the question being asked.

Your issue may be the brake's master cylinder has worn seals.

Welcome to HDForums from southeastern Michigan. By far you have joined one of the best forums that I have ever seen. Take a good look around and possibly before you can ask a question you will find the answer.
