I've got a bit of a rear brake drag problem that's heating up my rotor excessively.
So until I find a solution, I'm gonna take advantage ...

Are you dragging it or is the brake caliper tightening after use? If the latter is the case replace your hydraulic fluid and use DOT5. That stuff is hydroscopic and goes bad after 2-3 years. DOT5 resists heat better.
 
I love the idea of a silicone based brake fluid. My Harley Sportster used that kind.

But I will not change the type of fluid my bike uses.. I'll stick with the OEM recommended stuff, as that is the specification that is literally engraved onto the covers and caps for the master cylinder/reservoir.
 
My 2012 ultra recently turned over 50k miles. I’m looking into doing some work this winter doing a set of cam chain tensioners, lifters, cam bearings, and evaluate the cam plate and oil pump. As long as the stock cams are good I will throw them back in. I like the performance I have and it has ran excellent. I’ve rode just shy of 38k miles in just under 3 years. It’s looking like it will be pushing 90k in 3 more years.

Most bikes should do a good 100k before needing much anything.
