Wow! I had to watch a dozen videos of rear brakes being replaced with different bolt patterns before stumbling upon this Masterpiece. And as Todd stated that caliper is used on different models, exactly like my 04 Superglide except on the Right side. And just as with my Superglide the master cylinder is behind the exhaust??? And wouldn't you know it these guys are Not only Buckeyes but right here in my backyard, Literally, I'm in Lodi. You have found yourself a New customer as I like to shop Local. See ya in the future. Thanks for the Great video, your commercial is crazy too. LOL
New rider and was planning on paying for the rear brakes, defitnetly saved me some money, thank You! I would have bought you a case of beer if I could
Just replaced the rear brakes on a neglected '98 Sportster 1200 I recently bought with help of this video, and only took about an hour!
The Best YT channel about service HD !!!
Changed my brake pads on my 02 Hugger this weekend and went for a ride in beautiful weather bc of this video.
I had no problem replacing the front brake pads on my 2006 Road Glide. But when I looked into replacing the rear brake pads I thought for sure I was going to have to take the bike to the shop. Then I saw your video. Thanks to you, replacing the rear brake pads was a lot simpler than it looked. Thanks Todd.
Thank You!! Watching your vids is taking the apprehension away from me. I’m now feeling confident that I should do my own work on my sportster !! Although I’m not a stranger to working on my cars and trucks. I’ve been afraid of doing something stupid and costing myself a lot of $$$$. And the way you casually calmly explain things its like being there in studio !!!
Thank you for the confidence builder. I knew it was going to be easy but I didn’t know which bolts/ pins to remove and which ones to leave alone .....pretty important information actually!
Thanks for the informational video!
Extremely Grateful to Todd~ I do believe I can fix about anything on my bike after watching his videos! Mad respect ^5! A girl, some tools & an a great mechanic's you tube video~ Yep sounds like SUCCESS BABY!

I did this and ended up blowing out my master cylinder open your damn bleed valve before compressing the piston also helps to remove your reservoir cap
