Hello,
I have a recently converted 98 GL1500 with a Motortrike Phoenix kit.
1) I have issues with my parking brake. After a few times using parking brake, I could pull it up all the way and it would not prevent the trike from rolling away.
I took back to installing dealer and after an adjustment the brake held , even with pulling up only a few notches. This was short lived as it "loosened" up, went all the way up again, and would not hold.
2) Concerning the rear brakes, I must really put pressure on the brake pedal to stop effectively. The pedal seems a bit soft. The installer said the brakes are working properly and that's just the way it is with the original master cylinder and the added weight of the conversion. Is this true?
I would have expected to be able to almost lock the rears up.
In closing, going back to the dealer is almost a 5 hour round trip, and I don't want to spend the time for the same results.
Thanking in advance for any suggestions or insight.
