Front brakes locked on '01 FLHRCI. Had to loosen bleeders to move bike. Scorched rotors!
Installed new polished rotors, chrome calipers, HD braided cables, ebc kevlar pads and DOT5 fluid. Ridden less than 200 miles.
Tested calipers when removing front wheel and noted that left side only 2 pistons moving, right side only 3. Disassembled calipers, all looks good. No chrome where it is not supposed to be, all pistons move freely and are round and not scored, bores look good, no scoring. No blockage in brake lines, master cylinder looks good, assembled correctly.
Brakes worked fine, no jerkiness, smooth. Front wheel spun freely. WHAT HAPPENED???
Headed to HD now to pick up new rebuild kit for calipers and master cylinder. Sure would like some insight as to what happened before it happens again.
