On an America? I've looked and it looks nothing like a Harley which is were most of my experience lyes. So how do you go about it? over and above the " 1 2 3 4 " stuff. Which is really a matter of comfort and hand size rather than acutally taking the slack outta the cable?
regards, and thanks

Uh...ok. So it nearly comes to the grip when depressed so, what's the answer? what gives it more "purchase"?

Put a good stout rubber band around the grip and lever so as to hold nice and tight and leave it sit overnight. If that doesn't work then it will require some bleeding.
