Modern Harley hydraulic disc brakes aren't adjustable like the old mechanical drum brakes. If pedal action is unsatisfactory or braking is weak, it may mean the system needs to be bled.
Also, the pads may be glazed, which can be caused by overfilling the fluid reservoir, which allows caliper heat to expand the fluid and cause the pads to push against the disc. Sanding the surface of pads will usually make them usable again.
In addition, I recommend flushing both front & rear brake systems once a year, regardless of how well they may be working. Moisture accumulates naturally inside the system through condensation, and that moisture leads to rust in the steel sections of the brake lines.
Those rust particles can eventually break loose and cause scoring in the master & slave cylinders, allowing fluid to leak past the plunger & piston seals, resulting in loss of braking.
Rust is an excellent abrasive. Jeweler's rouge is comprised of two ingredients: Paraffin and ferric oxide (rust).
