    I have a squeak that happens when I'm turning right... Only right and when I'm pushing or pulling with the bars turned right I can feel the brake hanging up! Any suggestions?

    Sounds like it's time for a caliper rebuild......

    do you know how old your brake system is?
    rebuild caliper , think about doing the master cylinder as well, how old are the hoses?
    make a plan if you do not know the age of your front brakes.

    I 've done a caliper rebuild on my 1982 Seca 750 last year and even though I haven't changed the brake lines yet ( I will),
    it still brakes a lot better than my Super Glide Custom (Harley) with new rotor, new pads and stainless steel brake line!
    You can't help but love these bikes.
