I think it is pretty common for there to be so much travel in the brake
lever. That doesn't mean it is a good thing though. Do you have a front
brake switch in the cable? There is a piece of rubber in that switch
that
is compressed to allow the contacts to close. There is part of the
travel. Most of the new cables I have seen are pretty wimpy too, and
will
stretch pretty easily. You could probably fix this by making up a heavy
duty cable without a brake light switch. Wish I knew where to buy those
already made up.

Moto International sold me a front brake cable for my Eldo w/o the
switch. I haven't installed it yet, however.
