What's the diameter of the rear drums. Mine were 9.055". The max diameter
is supposed to be 9.040". I put on another used set that were 9.020". Huge
difference. Even if the rears are adjusted tight, worn drums will cause
that situation. I put Stan's brake brace on too - It does make a
difference.

Subject: brakes frustration
Current situation: Brakes stop ok, but still 3-4 inches of travel. No
matter how much I bleed, it doesn't improve. I am familiar from
pre-roadster days of bleeding and having it better for a few days, then get
gradually worse, but I'm not even getting that. Yes, I can sit in the driver
seat and watch the m/c move when I press, but it's not that much (~1/4" rise
of end of cyl at full strength pump).
Most probably calipers gone sour with time?
