the rear brake drags on mine once and awhile, thought the rotor was warped and when I brought it in for the first service, they told me it was normal
 
Guys I am at a total loss at what to do to fix this. As I was riding to work today I thought about how smooth my 1996 EVO FLHT was in comparison to the 09 FLHTCU.

The next things I am going to try will be to add "Dynabeads" tire balance beads and see what happens, then if that doesn't help I will check the rear shocks for oil and quantity (if any!)
I have read that from time to time the shocks supplied to HD by SHOWA slip through the system without oil being put in them.

I've tried everything else--different tire pressures and various air pressure settings in the shocks to name a couple, with no different result....

Any other ideas?? The dealer has no clue other than "they all do that" as mentioned previously...
 
I got the same problem on my 2010 street glide with the back brakes dragging , you can get up some speed and pull in the clutch and coast and you hear it ---- will that be a warranty fix ??
 
I'm no expert on this, but I had the same problem too, until I changed my rear tyre and put some dyna beads in it. The vibration has gone now, just after I was getting use to it. Would it be possible to have rear brake shudder if the rear wheel alignment isnt perfect. Some say it gets better overtime, so maybe the pads are just wearing parrallel to the brake rotor. Just asking!!!!! As someone said, I dont know why HD dont use a floating rear brake rotor.
 
A tech friend of mine tells me that when you apply only the rear brake, or heavily apply the rear brake, with the front that the geometry changes because the rear squats down and it therefore changes the tension on the belt and that is what we feel not actually the brakes pulsing. any way I guess its just normal cuz many do it.
