Sticking Brakes

I agree.
That would be my first suspect!
Explains the locking of front only.
M/C usually would affect all 4 the same.
The "cooldown" that fixes things might be a slow bleed off of the pressure, which could also point back to the M/C or the relaxing of the faulty hoses.
I would suggest switching to braided stainless lines on all 4 wheels as a good starting point, after inspecting all 4 calipers and lines for leaks.
Keep us posted on progress!

I would look at the master cyl. And ABS

Turned out to be sticking front brake calipers, pistons not returning caused by really really dirty old brake fluid. So, rebuilt calipers, fresh double flush of the system and the old girl is back in business. Well, on to the next problem anyway.

When you had this issue was your brake light on the instrument cluster flash on and off while driving? I have a similiar issue with rear brakes slightly sticking and I know brake fluid looks pretty dark. I am wondering if I have a similiar issue.
