It sounds like your calipers might be shot - rebuilding might work, replacing will definitely work. Try this article it can guide you through the rebuild process for you calipers http://www.ronincycleparts.com/category/howto/harley/chroming-motorcycle-brake-components/ it is generally a bad seal or a bit of dirt or rust getting caught up in the piston. I would also suggest rebuilding the brake reservoir assembly as this has a piston and spring assembly that pushes the brake fluid into the calipers causing the piston the deploy. If you still have the original factory brake lines and they are not routed correctly they may be pinched during a turn for example and cuasing pressure on the line causing the brake to activate.

After replacing rear brakes the brakes are now squishy How do you fix this problem?
Bleed the rear brakes and add new brake fluid. Typically the brakes feeling as if they give too much or "squishy" is from small air bubbles in the brake line...so by bleeding and adding new fluid you let out the small bubbles which cause the squishiness. When you changed the brakes many people tend to hit the line as well as not clamp them properly and therefore render the brakes "squishy". Hope this helps. J
