my '04 (38k miles) has a very soft pedal. Dealer says normal for Retrobirds. Problem is
high-speed braking power; emergency braking at highway speeds is poor, at best. The
lack of real brake power from 75-90mph is scary. Is this a brake booster problem?
Equalizer valve problem? Is only solution replacement with after-market brakes
from Brembo, Wilwood or the like? If another Retrobird owner has had and solved
this problem, please post your advice. Thankyou. Jim Murdoch
