If these rear brakes are cable operated, that is where the spongy brakes are coming from. Chinese cable housings have more "give" to them than most. If you can adopt H-D/Indian brake cables to your rear brake most of the spongy feel will disappear...ARH

Mine's solid rod actuated also. i just think I've been spoiled by disk brakes at this point. My drum still works fine, it's just not as sensitive.

I always said the rear drum on my old Harley was "for display purposes only". ;-) It was awful!
