Brake calipers w/4 bleeders 2019 Goldwing converted with California Style rear end
Earlier today I wrote and posted the following on a trike fans group on FB, so if something doesn't seem to read correctly,l thaty may be the cause....or it's just that I may be ain't do the right so good...
[Hello to all who come across the following and thanks in advance for any assistance. My dad is trying to help our next door neighbor, who recently bought a 2019 Goldwing that was converted into a trike immediately using a kit/style called "California Style." BTW, I only know what it is that they tell me, I am helping them by, hopefully, middle manning some answers online, as they are kinda behind on the modern technology of the world. I know little of mechanics on bikes, trikes, planes etc
So, he's been unhappy with the feel of the rear brakes, they appear to be nearly non existent. In the 4 months or so since the purchase he has taken it in to where it was built for him, a fairly reputable Honda bike dealership, 4 times now in the short time since he received the trike. He says that every time he's gone to the dealership to have them look at it, they're only gone long enough to have barely gone around the block, then upon giving their assessment of the situation he's told there's nothing wrong. He leaves and then repeats the scenario.
Today he wanted to break the scenario cycle by bleeding the brakes and he asked my dad for help with it. upon getting into the project they realized that both of the rear calipers have what seems to be 4 separate bleeder valves, which was definitely an issue as neither had seen this before in there 70ish yrs on the planet. So, I am being asked to ask the internet if you/it/anyone can explain what the proper protocol would be to bleed these calipers would be? Again, thanks in advance for any response as well as for taking the time to offer assistance
