Hello interwebs,

New HD rider here, I just made the switch from sport bikes to HD.

In the past I have owned the following bikes

2006 Ducati Monster 800 SR2
2002 Aprilia Millie R

I just sold the Aprilia and picked up a 2005 HD Roadking. This is my first HD, and I might just be in love... First time in my life I was able to ride over an hour, without back pain.

I did run how ever run into an issue on my ride home, where my front brakes locked up.

Welcome--also from SWF!

Front brakes locked up. Um that is a need to check out immediately. I have never seen one do that. ever. Not saying I do not believe you just saying never saw it. Thinking caliper might have locked from setting? Some WD and a good soaking should cure it. The braking systems W/O antilock are pretty straight forward, should be an easy fix.

Good luck and welcome
