Ongoing park brake wear after trike conversion

For the summer, I got my eyes set on a 2021 Gold Wing with a CSC trike conversion. My project is figuring it all out, and I need you guys' help. I've been noticing the park brake keeps needing adjustment. Honestly, I never used it much before the conversion, so it's hard to tell if it's a CSC issue or something that was already there. Well, I have been doing my research and it's been suggested that it could be a Honda design flaw. The pads supposedly don't retract all the way, leading to wear and less braking power over time. Anyone else run into this? Is this just how Honda designed it?
 
I've heard that some Gold Wing models often have issues with the parking brake. When the pads don't retract completely, it can lead to gradual drag and wear over time. If you've done the CSC conversion, it's a good idea to check whether the cable tension or routing might have been impacted as well
