Default Front Brakes Seized up...Advice please.

I just did a legend dual pistons set up on my del sol. Everything went on smoothly. After bleeding both front brakes....I went to test to see if I can spin the wheels freely, but it seemed like they are seized up. I cant spin them. Like someone is stepping on the brake. I thought it was normal..then I took it for a ride...as soon as i let go the gas pedal..it would stop like i'm braking, but I'm not. It's almost like riding with E-brake on. The clearance of the calipers and the rotors have been checked..no contact. Bleeded the two front brakes only...didn't do the entire system. Not sure if that could be the problem.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By any chance did you forget to shave the calipers? They will not fit exactly and require some shaving until they fit properly....I read a thread about it...gimme a sec


---edit---

voila
