rear caliper, 2010 wide glide
rear caliper is ganked up, anyone have a link to a good OEM replacement for a reasonable price? 
(it was dragging on the way to work this AM, and when i took it off tonite after freeing it up and riding home on the front brakes only...
the anti rattle clip has been dragging the top of the rotor and is half gone on the inboard side.)
anyway..
looking for rear caliper, and the anti rattle clips etc.
thanks in advance
this is my daily driver.

Check to make sure your rear brake pedal is not sticking also, that happened to me. Had to take it apart and use a honing ball to smooth out the center of the brake pedal. No more sticking or dragging after that.

i had a well worn small diameter flap wheel that fit snugly in the plastic bushing so i "honed" it out, and lubed it with 80/90 gear oil... hey it's what was close and seems to work.
i guess i'll ride today without the rattle spring
to San Antone and find a replacement somewhere.

update: apparently the previous owner didn't realize that brake pads wear out.. the inner at some time had been worn completely or was never installed and the caliper had ground itself into the rotor crooked so the pads don't set square when the brakes are applied.
I have to believe that the tech at the dealership that installed the new rear pads before i bought it knew bout this issue and just said screw it.. or the service manager told him that.
anyway, $75 later a replacement "take-off" caliper is on its way from eBay.

ha.... no. That's a safety issue and I'd be in someone's face over that one.... if that's what you get from that dealer... find a different dealer... would not trust them ever.
