Rear brake "thud" since recall work performed

[53driver]

Anyone feel a difference in their rear brake since the recall work?
Mine is definitely different, more responsive (but yes, there is new fluid).

What has me intrigued though, is when I step on the brake more firmly than gradually, I feel a "thud" in the rear area.
If I go gradually, no thud.
Is that air in the system working its way through?
I know it wasn't there before the recall work.

I am going to check all fasteners and fittings tomorrow in the light.

Open to ideas so when I get back to the dealer, I can have an intelligent conversation.
Cheers,
Steve

Are you sure that you are not running over any of your Harley parts in the driveway

So many smart-azz comments just waiting in the wings....they'll wait until the Rally.
Speaking of Wings - you get an F6B yet?

53 it does sound kinda like you may have something loose. Smart to check it. I don't know what they could have left loose on moving parts though. They shouldn't have had a caliper loose. Could be a piston sticking on the caliper. I've seen those act like that. Like you talked about I checked all my stuff the next day just in case. I don't trust anybody. Oh by the way. I don't think air in the system would act like that. A low pedal or lack of braking would be more the result of air.

Sorry about those comments Tony made about Saorla. Totally unprofessional and unnecessary. I'll speak to him about it. Things like that need not happen on this forum. Can't believe he went there.

Good luck.

I'm fairly certain 53 does a F.O.D. walk down of his driveway to prevent such occurrences...

Speechless , LMAO , but speechless.
