I'll post here too...My 1961 Duo Glide'sfront brake has drag in it, I can get a half turn out of the wheel before hearing the drag. I adjusted it but can't get the lever adjustment right (1/4 pull till it starts to work) without hearing the drag. Any tricks to doing this before I take a look at the drum, shoes, cable and return spring.

I've looked at the drum moving on a lift and there's maybe 1/16 of an inch movement (wobble) the shoes look good with no shinny spots or marks anywhere, the cable doesn't return all the way so I think that's part of it. The drum has 2 small spots where there's no contact and a small bit of rust built up. I'm thinking of turning the drum as I can't get enough adjustment from the cable with out drag. It seem as though the shoes are to big and the smallest cable ajustment makes it drag. I clean it up with break clean and grease the levers tomarrow. Thanks, Willy

I had the same problem with my 68.&nbsp\\; Shoes looked good but would drag.&nbsp\\; Finally put on a new set.&nbsp\\; Solved the problem.
