Front caliper differences
ORIGINAL: MC_spirited
I am getting a pulsing in the front brakes. Recently changed pads and SS lines. I am wondering if I could have put the calipers on the wrong sides.

Could just have air in the lines too from when you switched. Try to bleed the lines. Its the simplest solution anyway. I assume they were not pulsing before you changed pads and the lines? You might have to bed the brake pads also... not sure if that's required on bikes, but it certainly is for cars.
could be many things...including warped rotor, sticking calipers, etc.
i'd remove the pads, extend your pistons 1 by 1 very slowly and clean all of them.
there will be gunk around them that would prevent them from extending.
then reinstall the pads and bed them just for good measure.

I disassembled and cleaned the calipers before putting them back together and installing the new Galfer GG pads. The brakes felt a bit weird under hard braking before the pad change. After I installed the pads I was bedding the pads in and I hope I did not warp them when I did that. I am just not sure if i put the right calipers on the right sides.
