    OK guys this is the one to think about after putting a new tyre on the front of a heritage springer i just noticed that the front caliper thats in front of the downbar on these is moving a little  in and out as the wheel moves, now i have never realy noticed this before but to be honest never looked for it either, the brake does not pulse as a warped disc would make happen and the brake works fine, anyone got any ideas or knowledge towards this???

     

    thanks guys  smut

    Disc is warped or got bent when the front tyre was changed. Get a big Adjustable spanner, rotate the wheel find the start and finish and bend it back gently. Could also be your bearings need changing if wheel moves the same as disc.
