I'm a little late for the thread but I wanted to advise that my 87 Westy also has spongy brakes. You push once and it is a little soft; pushing again immediately gives a firmer feel. This is after the dealer serviced the brake fluid (replace & bleed), new metallic pads (with resurfaced rotors) and my own attempt to Re-bleed the brakes. While I'm writing I would like to ask for advice on camping to and around Yellowstone. I am coming from Indiana so I am looking for good park or camp stops along the way. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Ed |
