Try to bleed the rear brake old and see if the pedal moves freely and fully. I have a front master cylinder that feels likes it dragging on one of my bikes and I bled the front brakes and it felt smooth in the lever so I think it’s the pistons/caliper hat need my attention.
Good luck and hope it’s not the high dollar problem.

Same thing happened last month on my 12 ultra limited at 24,000 miles.
Rear brake was hard as a rock. No warning signs.
It is a known defect that Harley will not admit. Yearly brake fluid changes/ flushes may prevent it.
I have put several hundred thousand miles on my ford trucks and never changed brake fluid.
Harley didn't offer to reduce repair by a dime. I had an Indy do it for less money.
Dealership has lost all future service with me.

Somebody on this forum mentioned that because the module on the '12's and 13's were provided to by a different vendor no recall was issued. I know the owners manual states fluid change and flush every two years but does it say you have to periodically activate ABS? Not to be flippant but is this now a general knowledge item?
