Hi folks, just ordered the rebuild kit from from St. John Harley and the reason being is that I have a front caliper that seems to grab
as I am pushing the bike around. Anyone have the same issue(s) with the front caliper doing this. Also If I back off the mounting bolts the dragging goes away, so let me know what you all have done for this situation.
Thanks in advance for any input!!

Do you really know if the fault is the caliper I don't think so. I think the issue is a warped rotor. To resolve this, use a dial indicator and check for rotor run out.
