There is a proportion valve in the rear brake line. They're not releasing properly and drag at low speeds. They did the same thing before I installed the PV.

They did the same thing before I installed the PV. either hyd or mech prob. See if the wheels turn free then pop the drums & see if the shoes are hanging up (doubtful but elim it) then check the drum half of the M/C & must have no RPV then crack the rear line at each fitting from the M/C rearward till you find what's holding pressure. elim one at a time live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
