Floating Rotors

I'm running the HD ones, they are cheaper. They do rust though inside the holes. They don't rattle, the buttons are very tight, unlike race bike ones. They're made my Suntour, so standard Japanese stuff- but you knew the front of your bike was all Japanese anyway right? Showa forks, etc.

non floating rotors have to run 100% true if you run a fixed caliper, sadly hd quality isn't that good, non floating rotors are fine with floating calipers but with fixed calipers and fixed rotors and poor manufacturing tolerances you will probably end up with shudder in your brakes

I have floating rotors on my 99 Softail Custom, and I like them just fine. They were on it when I got it so I don't know what the difference would be. My brakes work really well with HD pads so maybe that is due to the floaters. When I got the bike it had 17,000 on it, and now has 41,000 and the rotors still look new.

no kidding Zimm,
Fab Kevin called me personally the other night from an email. Himself and he was super nice and sincere as he was busy in Detroit he called me after 8pm.
To be honest, with the RG, me and the wifepiece youre lookin at ~1100 lbs. I want jap stopping power and not the 1960s tech on my bike now. It will be over $500 but it will be $500 that I shoulda spent when the wife is on her *** if I rear-end somebody because I'm driving too fast and the bike stops like a Model-T...
ThreadJack over!
Thanks,
Tom
