Brake Noise after replacing/bleeding line
Ok, Here it goes. I just finished swapping my bars out on my 08 Super Glide to some Street Bob units. I got everything together and the front brakes bleed. I have noticed that there seems to be some dragging or rubbing coming from the front caliper/rotor unit and when I hit the front brake hard (intermentantly) there sound like a clap from the caliper. The bike stops fine hoWeverIm just wondering what the noise is and if I need to rebleed or not?? Any advise /input would be great.
Thanks

RE: Brake Noise after replacing/bleeding line
Could be anything ... but probably not your bleeding off the brakes.
Lift the front wheel if you can and see what is scraping ...
Poor bleeding would give delayed braking and a soft brake grip ... pulling all the way in if there is a lot of air in the line ...
It may be that you have improved the brakes with the new fluid and well bled that you just ain't used to good brakes !
