My brakes are little soft so I'm going to bleed the brakes and check the shoes and fluid. Should I start bleeding from a certain wheel? Is there a pattern I should use? Any advise would be appreciate

Check the rear wheel cylinders, as these are prone to corrosion and leaks. If it's on a standard SV set-up, you need to bleed the rear from the right hand nipple only, as there is a crossover pipe f

Thanks to everyone who responded to my brake bleeding question. I started with the right rear and worked my way forward finishing with the left front. I got pretty dark looking fluid at first until t

Can anyone tell me if there off the shelf brake pads and shoes that I can buy a Napa or PepBoys that will fit my Series I. If so what am I looking for. I'm into one of those "you might as well" phase

As far as I know, the early series 5 had self adjusting brakes. Due to some decision (they sucked?) they were removed from later series 5, and replaced with manual adustment. i looked at the picture
