I have an '02 Road King. An oily film develops on the front rotors every time I ride. I have owned the bike since new and this has NOT always been the case.
It has HD floating rotors and I had the calipers chromed years ago. it wasn't till just the last couple years I've had this problem.
I have taken it in for the Harley dealer to look at and they have not been able to explain it.
Is it the calipers that are leaking? I am thinking of taking the calpers in to rebuild but not sure if this is the problem. Could it be the forks leaking somewhere?
There is no obvious leak anywhere, just a black oily film on the rotors.
Anyone out there with this problem or any ideas?
Thanks for your help...
Mike
