Tonight, I jacked up the front and attempted to spin the wheels by hand. You could turn rotate them, but not able to spin.

that is actually normal to have to bearhug it & get maybe 1/4 turn or less. And they will not spin free. Different calipers do vary in the amt of constant preload they maintain so it's a judgement call but quite a few of them do have alot of constant drag. In a safe situation a person could plug the disc half of the M/C w a brass inverted flare male fitting from the Edelman fitting section at your parts house then knock back the pads until both front sides are free and CAREFULLY take it out w only the rear drums operating and see exactly how much drag the fronts were making. I did have a pass caliper 74 dart that bearhugging it seemed to tight so I got a $15 rebuild caliper and that loosened it up a bit
