I spent the past two weeks volunteering with Samaritan Purse. I was a week in Bowling Green and a week in Mayfield. The most destruction I've ever saw on all the trips I've been on. The stories I heard from homeowners was unreal what they went through. On a good note, they are lots of volunteer and other organizations there to help. There are still lots of good Americans willing to help their neighbors in need.

If the brakes aren't delinked, it's hard to imagine both front brakes locking up and not the rear. Very DUMB question alert! Could the reservoirs have been completely full? If so pressure from heat could build up. The master cylinders have a little hole that allows the fluid pressure to be relieved back to the master cylinder when the brakes are released. Sometimes those holes get plugged. It may be that the calipers just need to be rebuilt.

alright here I go so far I understand I need these Items to do an updated Brake system MKII ... front end 86 to 93 ... I assume the rim an spacer / bearings and steering bearings are the same ? R6 / R1 calipers either Gold or Blue ( gold would look great on my bike ) but what year models am I looking for 14mm master cylinder ? or R6 / R1 master cylinder ... ? rear caliper I read Gold R1 but also saw FJR ... ? steel Braided lines ( seems like Skydoc is the man with the plan there ) I think thats all just trying to put together a list to make it simple for me and then there will be a exact parts list for future questions for new members and to help keep these MKI and MKII bikes rolling So can anyone help me put together the swap list ( after my recent Stoppie action this is happening to my 84 ) hopefully picking up a straight great condition MKII front end in FL while im down for the Daytona races this coming weekend 7 to 9 Jan 22

Garage and yard sales also make it difficult. In my case what ever resolution I make you can guarantee I will do the exact opposite and ten times worse than if I had not made the resolution to start with.

I get that. I have spent hours searching for air leaks on transport trucks which have miles of air lines, fittings and air bags unable to find any, yet the customer insists it looses air over night. Sometimes you have to add extra soap to the water spray everything down and wait a few minutes. The tell tale is sometimes nothing more than a very slight foaming at the leak. Also check the exhaust ports and or open ended lines near the solenoid valves. Cover the hole or end of hose very lightly with a wet soapy finger. Its possible the valves are leaking internally and allowing air to escape through the exhaust port. If your not sure were they are with the compressor assembly uncovered, lower the pressure using the buttons on the class control panel. As you do this you will hear were the air is escaping as the system dumps air, these are your exhaust ports. they should seal up tight other than when dumping air. If air is leaking out of these other than when lowering the suspension than the valves are faulty and need to be replaced.

If the brakes are not delinked, it would be difficult for both fronts to lock up, they are separate master cylinders. Are you sure the front left and right rear did not lock up? If that is the case, it is probably a blocked air return in the rear master cylinder, that happened to me on my 83. Other smarter ones will be along shortly.

Please do not start it back again. We all have strong opinions regarding this issue and we are obviously not going to change one another opinions.
