If your line is pressurized there is a problem. That is supposed to be a vent line. I know on the deuce, there was an MWO changing the location of that line. Yours might be going to the aircleaner as part of a fording kit but I would think that would create a vacuum. Trace that line. some uniformed subject may have tapped it into an sir line. More often than not, the airpacks go away more than anything else. If you have a firm pedal but very little braking action, look towards troubleshooting the airpack. Get yerself a manual and study the workings of it so you can start checking lines.
