    On second look that large looking hole at the top actually has a tiny hole a bit further in. Cleaned that out with wire and now rear brake seems to not drag.

      Thoughts, suggestions?

      Have you checked the rear brake lever pivot for freedom of movement it may be starting to a seize up and just holding the brake on.

        No I don't think that is an issue FBS. I just had the lever off, cleaned it up and greased before I started bleeding. It works good now.

        I have a GL1100 sitting right beside it, with single disc rear brake and it feels about that for turning resistance...might turn a bit easier but close.
