Updated my 2003 Sportster with forward controls. \\; After installation was complete I realized that my rear brake was locked. \\; Tried bleeding them and they didn't move. \\; Any suggestion? \\; Thanks

Try opening the master cylinder and see if it will unlock then. \\; Be careful not to spill brake fluid as depending on the type it could eat the paint right off of everything. \\; I cover everything near the master cylinder with towels or rags or a large blanket. \\; Usually if it is locked there is a leak somewhere in the brake system.  \\;
If everything checks out with the master cylinder and you're still having the problem, check the rear caliper. My 1998 FLHRCI was having the same problem and it was the rear caliper binding. Had to clean out the guide rod holes with a dremmel and sanding drum, then apply anti-seize to the rod and inside of the hole.
