Front noise at low speed and full lock to the right only

Well, brakes are actioned through hoses as they are hydraulic. I don't see any action on the hose being able to apply pressure to the calipers

I realize this, Nik & like I said it MAY be possible. I'm not sure how all this works, but I would think if the brake cable was already tight because of risers added or not routed quite right it could be possible. I really don't know, just trying to help out a fellow rider diagnose his problem. You may very well be correct that it's not possible.

Hey thanks mate for your "lateral" idea!
You just got me thinking about the risers I had on my previous Mk1. Could be a clue!

I had to reroute my clutch hose and remove the wire keeper around the ignition key area when I put my risers on.

First thing I did after I fitted my risers was a basic but vital safety check for adequate free play in cables & hoses and that there were no collateral issues with steering or suspension.

Can't believe  I didn't think of just spinning the wheel

Ordered bearings and caliper refurb kits as a precaution anyway so that'll be the weekend in a freezing cold garage.

Cheers for all the input so far.

Well, bizarrely the brakes do seem to try and grip the disk a little at full right lock but everything appears routed correctly. Cleaned everything today and now struggling to bleed the brakes having replaced a piston as it was showing signs of corrosion. Now it would appear I need to get dealer tool functioning to bleed the air. one trial after another.
