2008 Heritage. I changed the front end with new forks, tripple trees etc. The front wheel had a stuck caliper. I replaced the brake pads, rebuilt the caliper with new seals, clean up, real good bleeding etc etc. Still the wheel is tight. After I take the caliper off, it moves freely. The pistons are moving good( i tried front and back separately). The wheel has a wobble when I spin it on the jack. Could that be the cause?
Please help me to narrow it down!!

 

Even if it isn't the cause, that is a cause for alarm.

 

Just in case did you check the allignment of the caliper to the rotor, maybe it needs shimmed to keep the pads from touching or maby even shaved . Just a thought.

 

Your axle spacers are wrong? On the wrong side or are wrong for the front end you are using? If you have a laced wheel that someone has relaced then the rim offset could be wrong? The wheel wobble wouldn't stick it all the way around...

 

wheel wobble at rim right?

wont effect the brake because the rotor is attached to the hub in the center, does the rotor "wobble"?

set the pads all the way in mount, look into the spacing is anything touching the rotor? if so u probably have the spacers in wrong, but I think the harley hubs are symetrical side to side on the front, could be wrong. U can measure if there is an offset by running a straightedge across the wheel and measuring. Also the years of frt end changes in widths from "i believe" 2000 up and 99 down.

Pm sells shim packs to set the caliper center to rotor. I had to use them when I installed big dog 3deg trees on my scoot. It set my caliper about 3/16" off, shims fixed it.

edit
u need to get that wheel trued also

 

Probably not for a Weeble Wobble but I agree on a Harley

 

Don't you mean Weebl & Bob?

 

The caliper is off center. When I mount the caliper without the pads and pistons pushed in all the way, the rear pistons rub against the caliper. I think the caliper is 1/8" or slightly more off. If I put two 1/8 washers on inside of mounting bolts(between inside of fork and caliper) it spins freely. Is it good or shall I put a 1/8" spacer on the axle? Appreciate the help.

 

Space the caliper not the wheel, leave the wheel spacing alone. At least that's what I was taught.

 

None of this sounds good to me... something else is out of whack... only the rear of the pads drag? I don't think spacing a brake rotor is a particularly safe idea... unless you get a spacer that covers the entire hub surface... which would still mean that the rotor is somehow cocked in the caliper. The tire isn't dragging on the fender, is it? (That's why I made the offset comment since you said it is warped).
