04 1000rr front brakes lock! Rebuilt calipers/bled!
I have a 04 1000rr and had a problem after a wreck. I would ride for 15 min or so and the front brakes would slowly start to grab. I rebuilt the calipers putting new seals in and cleaning everything. Flushed the fluid and bled. Rode all day yesterday no problem just needed to bleed a lil more and rode to work today but on the way home the brakes started to grab again! Wtf?! I'm lost now any suggestions? Maybe a collapsed hose?

you rebuilt the calipers yourself?
the fact that you needed to bleed the system is counter to the fact that they are grabbing. you may need to address the section of the system that splits the lines from one into two. what seems to be happening is that they calipers are not releasing... as opposed to ratcheting down on there own as you ride.
that tend to lead me to believe that there might an issue with your caliper rebuild

Idk what could've went wrong during the rebuild. I blocked off and blew each piston out and put new seals in one at a time. I didn't have any issues during the rebuild.
