It all started when I replaced the rear brake pads on my 07 ST1300. The rear brakes were sticking, so I took them off two times and while putting the rear caliper back on I noticed the Bolt that the caliper slides on was stripped out. So I found a good used rear caliper on ebay that was close to me so I received it fast. Got it today and switched the caliper and bleed the whole system. Yes it's a pita. When done everything was fine, even took for a short ride. So I think the rear old caliper was bad because before I put the ebay one on I pushed the pistons in and they went in easy not like the old caliper they were hard to push back in. So now very happy again.

Good to hear it's sorted. I haven't hear to many brake issues on the ST.

I'm getting close to needing brakes, they have been squeaking some although they don't look all that thin. I have a buddies '96 Fat Boy on this bike lift right now and it's down to the frame/motor right now. Parts have been rolling in and I think most will be back Monday so it shouldn't be long before I can get mine on the lift.
