Gents, i have a slight problem with the front brakes on my 79 RT. It has the ATE things attached to the bottom of the front klankers.... And they are dragging the pads on the discs.

You can feel the drag at low speed and hear it at pretty much all speeds.

I have overhauld the master cylinder with an origional BMW kit. I have also overhauled the slaves with new pistons and seals, but no joy. Same as before.

Rubber pipes look good, i believe they were replaced recently. Can this be a caliper alignment issues? I have tried the alignment to the best of what makes sense, but no joy.

The bike is a bugger at low speeds in traffic, with dragging front brakes she wants to lie down all the time.

Any tips from those in the know?
