Thanks Erv

Hey Erv I appreciate the advice. I did go back and bleed the front a bit more and all seems to be working fine. When I changed the rear I cleaned everything up real good. The pins while I didn't see any grooves yet they were quite dirty with some galling(minor) and took a good bit of cleaning. As you suggested I lubed everything up well with copper grease. I seem to remember reading the rear caliper has a bad habit of freezing up. Will keep an eye on it. I am happy with the braking now that they are working well. Took a ride in the mountains this past weekend on some good twisty roads and have no complaints. Thanks much..ride safe.
