Your brake's grease guards are on upside down.

Yummy!

 

.......What a sweet ride......keep us posted...

 

The grease guard is the tin circle held on by the four bolts that also hold the backing plate to the spindle. The round cup end is supposed to go downward to hold any grease which slings past the wheel bearing seals.
