My 99 fatboy had me out for a ride the other day
up in the redwoods when I noticed I wasn't getting the speed i usually do
for the twist I was putting on.
Thinking it was some sort of brake drag I tapped my front brake,no prob.
I tapped my rear brake pedal and it SEEMED ok but the fat was not rolling smooth so I pulled over.
To my surprise the rear disc had started to blue. So I sat in the shade and let it cool off..... it seemed to roll ok so I rode home front brake only.
I am not a heavy rear brake user and this has never happened before.
I plan to get into it and maybe even replace the oem parts.
QUESTION IS does anybody know what would cause this brake drag.
all stock parts and 7500 miles.

I experienced some brake drag on my fatboy. It was the pedal not properly releasing. I tool it into the dealer and they honed the bushing at the pedal and it works fine. I asked if it was common and he said it "It happens". It only happenned when it was warm.
