I have a slight problem with the cruiser at the moment. When stopping it pulls to right. It has a new master cylinder,both callipers overhauled,new pads and tyre pressures are correct. Checked the tie rods for play and they are all right wheel bearings are new and tight so running out of ideas .Any suggestions greatly appreciated..
 
It may seem silly, but be sure to rule out a tire issue causing the pull. Rotating the front, and then the rear tires, left to right should clarify whether this is an issue. I had this very problem myself recently, despite even tire pressures and no obvious abnormal tire wear. One of my tires was causing a pull under braking and hard acceleration.

Other ideas to consider -
air in brake line
glazed rotor/pads
knuckle bearings
 
Aussie,
You did remember to bleed all four corners of the rigs, starting with the tire that is farthest away from the master cylinder then the next farthest, so on, so on.

Sorry, I don't mean the way it sound, just checkin if you did it. :D
 
Thanks for the replies but problem solved.
I took a punt and replaced the flexible hoses and gave the calipers a blow out. Just went for a drive and it's pulling up straight now.
