When I tore this stuck rear brake apart It had a third brake plate without the lining, being used as some kind of shim I guess so the piston won't have to come out as far. I removed that and rebuilt both caliper and master cyl. with all new parts. I cannot get the pedal to not want to bottom out on the frame when you hit it hard. The bike will stop but I don't like the pedal travel. I have powerbled , forward and backward bled. There is no air in the system. I have adjusted out the rod as far as it will go on the piston. Still it feels mushy and alot of travel Help Jim
