It really WAS leaking!

Honda West called me this morning in reference to my ST1300. Seems they couldn't find a leak in the brake system anywhere. I can go pick up the bike.

The reason it went up there in the first place a leak I found in the bottom of the Proportioning Control Valve (PCV) between the back and front brake system (linked brakes).

I bled the brakes and filled the rear fluid container and took the bike to them last Thursday. By the time I got there, the rear brakes were feeling quite mushy, so I figured it had run out of fluid (it was leaking a lot just sitting on the center stand)
They said it was full of air, requiring nearly a whole bottle of brake fluid to get it cleared.

Guess I'll go get it and ride it and watch that rear brake fluid container like a hawk
