Yesterday was a nice enough day that I planned on replacing the rear shocks on my 1987 Voyager with the progressive shocks. When I went to move tje bike to where I can work on it the front brake lever went straight to the handle bar with no resistance and stayed there. So I pulled the cover amd there is no brake fluid. I planned on switching to braided stainless lines this spring and this looks like it is going to be the best time to do it.
I plan on rebuilding the calipers and replacing the lines at the same time
Where is a good source for the caliper rebuild kits and are there any other suggested upgrades? I saw a post about a year ago about switching to a newer master cylinder (14mm) from an African Twin but have not seen an updated post on it
Thanks
