Joe,

You got it.....We can always take a local spin too, until the weather decides it really wants to cooperate. Should have the old lady's scoot back sometime tomorrow, so we'll be good to go. Don't worry about riding with my ole lady.....she has well over 100K under her, and has been known to ride coffin, if we happen to be on a club ride with some friends.

Respects,
Ed

Default RE: Rotor Problems

Just a quick update....

Talked to a buddy out in Michigan who had to replace 2 Rotors last year. hmmm, somethings not right here....

Called the Stealer today, he told me the Ole lady's scoot was ready to go. He told me they put in the upgraded rotor this time. Of course I had to ask him about what he meant by "Upgraded" Well he told me that Harley superseeded the old rotor with a new one. I guess they must have figured out there was a problem with the magnets on the old version. Only explanation why a rotor with less than 500 miles could go out.

So if anyone has had a rotor put in late last year, better keep a ear open for that friendly grinding, just in case yours decides to let loose.

Respects,
Ed
