Sounds like a bad battery contact, and when it looses voltage from the poor contact, it goes back to flashing lines.

Front brakes feel spongy when engaged. Bled the brakes (2 front calipers), no improvement. Brake handle comes almost to hand grip. Feels like when the brake handle is depressed, it goes more than 1/2 way...

I have read and re-read your problem and I keep going back to the "spongy" feel, which strongly suggests air in the lines.
Make sure you have no brake fluid leaking anywhere, especially in the "tee" where your brake line splits to feed both calipers.
Even the smallest leak will allow air to be introduced.
If you are absolutely certain that you have no air in the lines, the most likely problem is one or both caliper pistons are worn and allowing fluid to leak by under pressure.
I recommend replacing the calipers- If you rebuild them, the slightest mistake honing the cylinders will result in your needing to replace anyway.
HD parts can be very expensive, so I suggest you check out Tedds in Newburgh, NY: They have a huge selection and prices are reasonable. You will need to google it because this site keeps dropping me when I try and post the link- world wide web dot vtwinmfg dot com
If you have ever watched American Chopper (love 'em or hate 'em), this is where the Tuthills get allot of their parts. They will send you a HUGE catalog for free.
Good Luck! FYI my first street HD was a 1980 Sportster.

If you added dot 3 fluid yu have a problem ..only use dot 5 fluid.. if you use dot 3 you will have to clean the whole system with mineral spirts then replace with dot 5 fluid .. may even have to replace line and caliper ..to change the brake pads undo the 2 tork screw in the caliper then remove the caliper from the brake disk change the pad and reinstall the caliper .. good luck

Pictures are all ines. Brand new camera. When I

I understand that sometimes the memory card, if used, can be removed and blown off. And, the contacts inside the camera can be blown off so that dust and dirt are removed.

Sometimes this is the cause of the lines.

However, it's a brand new camera, and probably isn't dirty, you might say.

Another cause is pointing it into the sun. But, you did not mention that you did this on a regular basis, so I don't think that's the problem, either.

If it's brand new, I would take it back for a replacement within 30 days of purchase and see if that solves the problem.

Good luck.

How do you change a caliper on a honda shadow 1100. right front

First you want to clamp off the rubber line going to the caliper. You can put rubber hoses on needle nose vise grips and put them on the rubber hose. DO NOT put vise grips on rubber line without protection from the teeth on the hose. Second follow the hose down to where the metal meets the caliper and remove that bolt going through the line into the caliper, DO NOT LOSE BOLT. notice the copper washers? make sure you put the new ones in the same way. next remove the two bolts going through the caliper into the fork. check the rotor over very good for blue spots, if you find some, it wouldnt be a bad idea to replace the rotor as well. Now to install the new caliper put your new pads in the caliper. put the caliper back over the rotor and reconnect caliper to fork. remmeber the copper washers? put one between the caliper and brake line, and one between the brakeline and the bolt head. make sure not to over tighten the bolt into the caliper. now bleed the brakes, and keep checking the fluid level while doing so. most likely its dot 4 brake fluid, but the cover on the resevoir will tell you. or refer to your owners manual to make 100% sure.IF I remember right, the right caliper is independent from the rear brake. but dont hold me to that :) any questions shoot me an email and ill go in more thurough.

Front hubs automatically engage for 30 seconds and

The power to the switch seems to be the issue. The vacumm switch is
just a normally closed switch,meaning only when it gets power, will it
send vacumm to the hubs to allow the 4wd to work automatically. You will have to trace the electric back from the switch,to see where it goes,
a relay or fuse. You may just have bad relay contacts. Good luck.
You can always run a toggle switch into the cab,to get the system
working until you figure out what's wrong in the mean time. Just a thought. Good luck.

Right front brake drags

Replace the flex line the rubber line between the car and the caliper. The inside of flex line can collapse making the back flow to release the caliper extremely slow. You can confirm the line is the problem by doing two tests. Pump the brakes up and undo the line at the caliper and it should release the caliper. Pump them up again and then undo the flex line at the steel line going to the master cylinder this should not change anything. Let me know if your findings are different and we can go from there.
