I have a special construction softail. When I bought it, it had a single piston front caliper, it would chatter quite a bit. I decided to change the caliper to a four piston caliper. For about 50 miles, the new caliper worked great, no chatter and better braking. But now I have the same issue. I did not resurface the rotor (the bike has low miles) when I replaced the caliper and pads, and the rotor is a floating rotor. Just to be clear, when I say chatter, its a combination of noise and vibration. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
