Bob demonstrates the proper technique for checking, servicing and replacing Harley brakes on the rear wheel caliper of your Harley Sportster. He shows how to loosen the caliper, remove the brake pads and install a new set.

Hi Bob, Bummer you did not like the video. Do you have any pointers you would like to share with fellow hoggers?
If you’re trying to convince us that we should maintain our leather, show us an old worn bag. And rather than repeat what not to do, and to do a lot of research, plug some good products. I’m watching this so I don’t have to do a lot of my own research. My only real take-away was the idea of using something more protective on the bottom of the bags.
