Rusty,
Hey, no prob. Yea, you do need to keep an eye on the rear caliper. I take mine apart once a year to clean and lube. Push the piston out appx 1/8" to clean around it(the crap likes to build up there) to keep it free. Also, keep an eye on the pads 'cause they will wear faster than the fronts. My rear pads last appx 10000-12000 miles. Fronts should last appx 20000 miles.

Be cool, be safe, don't put your fingers where you won't put your face!
