Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

rear brake fade
Here my dilemma. New brake pads,new stainless steel lines,brakes are all bleed good. Rear brake feels good and firm before I ride. Once on the road awhile rear pedal goes down like brakes are hot, but I still have good brakes. I have dot 4 brake fluid now. To me it feels like maybe I should rebuild master cylinder rebleed and try again in the spring. I am also going to adjust the pedal travel where the clevis pin goes in the yoke. Anyone else had this problem or am I just to picky about my brakes on the 1987 Voyager. I love this bike it is a joy to ride.

Re: rear brake fade
I had brake fade too,I did all kinds of things to the brakes , still had fading till I noticed the bleeder on the caliper was on just enough of an angle to keep little bit of air in the caliper, I removed the caliper and placed a peace of wood in place of the rotor so not to blow the pistons out of the caliper while bleeding the caliper, low and behold a couple bubbles of air came out when I bleed them again, then reinstalled the calipers, the brakes have been solid ever since

Re: rear brake fade
Yes I did that also. Did everything Carl told me to do. Maybe I will try bleeding again. Gonna have to anyway when I rebuild all my master cylinders including the clutch.
