So I took apart the caliper, cleaned, rebuilt, and bled the brakes, I haven't been able to drive it much but it was working fine and had a little gap when I first put them on, still new pads and disc. I had to take the wheel off and now I put it back on but it seems like it's rubbing? I don't...

EXACTLY! I want to upgrade as I see fit and have a well maintained bike.super Into your build! This is my first bike I had 0 mechanic skills or fabrication besides bicycles, been a nice learning curve figuring this shit out lol

Don't have much of my build thread but i've just been fixing things as i learn more and come across them. just recently welded this hoop on, relocated the choke and made a fusebox that was relocated by the battery. NEED to build/finish this seat and it is ready to go. Not a lot changed from the...

I have a 82 cb900f that I picked up a few years ago and have been working on in my garage. I didn't know anything when I started, but I've finally begun to understand a lot more and was able to acquire a lot more tools and space. I love this bike and know it's going to be a constant work in...

Well now I went up and down the block like 5 times only using the rear brake from like 30mph and it's pretty warm, is that normal? Both pads and disc are brand New

So just went for a 2 mile ride didn't use it and it's like ever so slightly warm, before I rebuild everything it was hot and locking up and a whole mess, do you think it's safe to start using?? I realized there is the smallest smallest gap

So it was centered and it sat fine before I bled, then I bled it and obviously the pistons moved but now they're against the disc, is this because it's not Moving and has nothing to bounce off against? I cleaned with brake fluid and brand new rings and stuff I'm confused as to why it's doing this !

I believe so, I'm guessing yes, it's on a pivoting piece on a rod that goes towards the swing arm. Sorry new to this stuff

That's the thing it's on the bike and I put everything back on and bled it and it pressed against the disc but It isn't Retracting I'm at a loss

So my rear brake caliper was seized and wouldn't move at all, so I took it off, cleaned end it, rebuilt with new seals and cleaned the pistons, lubricated it, slid back in fine, put new pads with a new disc, bled the whole system. I noticed obviously there's a small space for the pads to get...

Finally put this thing together yesterday, still have alot to fix up and work on but i just wanted to test it out and it runs great! thanks to everyone for helping me out on here with tips, tricks and information!
