Default rear wheel squeaking

i put some drag specialties brake pads about a year ago and i am getting squeaking in the rear wheel and a little in the front wheell. i took the pads off and sanded them down but the squeaking comes back i also noticed when i changed the brake fliud that the rear wheel does not rotate freely it rubs on the brake pads. i would like to figure out why the pads are rubbing on the wheel and also would like to put different brake pads just not sure if i should put harley pads or some other brand.

Look for threads concerning cleaning pistons under dust seals. This will help retract piston so pads don't drag.

Also search for brake pads.....lots of current info.
