I have a 2001 Softail Deuce. The front brake locks up. I opened bleeder valve, caliper disengaged. Let it set overnite, front brake locks up. When I open the bleeder valve the wheel turns freely but when I tighten it back up and let it set the brake locks up. Help!

 

fluid leap out or dribble out when opening bleeder ?
is there play in the lever when brake is locked up ?
try removing master cylinder from lever and try...could be master cylinder is not releasing do to lack of lever play or master cylinder stuck

 

If the caliper releases, chances are that it isn't stuck, but it's possible. The master cylinder has tiny ports, easily clogged. If clogged, you will get no release. If brake fluid was added or changed, check to be sure it was the correct DOT fluid for your system. The wrong fluid could certainly gum up the system.

 

Also if you have changed the brake lever, the master cylinder piston could have "overcentered". Drain and start again.
