My brakes would work OK for the most part. But lately the pedal would start to go down and actually got to floor after driving some distance (always at stoplight). I replaced MC (did not bench bleed), put on all new pads, and have bled the @#$# to death. Pedal goes to the floor every time. No leaks anywhere. Power booster makes a hissing sound when pedal is depressed. Apparently, air is going around the MC mounting. Anyone know what is going on?

you need to replace the brake master cylinder. this is a very common problem for legends with alot of miles, but once you replace it, you should be good for a long time. i know you said you already did, but this is what happens when you have a dead one. you MAY need to install new brake lines. that also could be the problem. if you have a bulge in a line somewhere, or a hole. you might as well get SS braided cables, which will also help performance.

thats my $0.02
