Rear brakes started locking
Hello,
I have a 2004 Softail. Suddenly my rear brakes started locking up when they haven't even been used. After I sit for several minutes they release. Then the process starts all over again.
I had the break lines changed after this started, still does it. Could it be the caliper or master cylinder?

Even though it happens when the brakes haven't been touched? Caliper was my guess, but I've been reading about the master cylinder

Take a wrench for the bleed port with you, when the rear locks up again break the bleeder port a hair. You get a good spurt there's air in the system, probably sucking at the MC. Just a little wet it's caliper issues pads expanding as it get hot, could be dirt, bad pads or an alignment issue.
