OK, first post here, so hi everybody!
Here's my situation, I have an Iron 883 and i decided to do some mods to it. I got some V&H straight shots from a friend and decided to remove the interconnect bracket from the bike. Removed the sprocket cover, then the screws that held it to the engine case. In this process I had to disconnect the rear brake rod from the bell crank. I reinstalled all the screws and parts to spec using the service manual.
So now my front and rear brakes are stuck in the compressed position. I bled both lines, removed the front brake caliper, pads and pushed the pistons back into their bores and reinstalled to spec. But when I try to bring back pressure in the line by squeezing the brake lever the pistons will not retract to their open positions. We did some research and the problem may be bc of dirt in the line but since we bled them I don't think this could be the whole reason. Can someone help me with this? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Carl
