So recently decided to upgrade my front brake system on my 75 XS650. I installed a new 13MM Master Cylinder from Hugh's Hand Built, and a one piece stainless brake hose, eliminating the two rubber houses and the brake light switch manifold etc.. Bled out the system a few times, and tied the lever back overnight a few times, with some improvement but,,,,,,,,, my issue is you need to pull the lever half way to the bar before any real firmness in the lever. Once that point is reached, good brake application , just uncomfortable using up that amount of lever deflection before getting brake. Not sure if there could still be air trapped somewhere in the system???
