Default Rotors
Anyone know the difference between a front and rear rotor on an '08 bagger?? Seems eBay suggested a 41808-08 in my search for an 41810-08.. Anyhow, I didn't catch it and am now a proud owner of the wrong damn rotor.. On that topic, anyone needing one, let me know! Also, I still need a rear 11.8" '08 and up..

Granted it is a different number but did you try to fit it anyway?
What is wrong with it?
IE. is it a different diameter, holes wrong etc?????

I actually bought it yesterday, thought I'd ask you guys while I'm waiting.. I do intend to give it a shot, just thought someone may have been there already.. Plus, its something different to talk about

While I don't know the answer your question I must admit I don't remember the last rotor question posted here.

An 08 bagger takes an 11.8" rear rotor. Anything earlier is 11.5". Pre 2000 has a smaller hole in the center of the rotor than 2000 and later. Rear rotors are thicker but a front can be used, however the holes in the rear rotor are not big enough for the rear rotor bolts. The holes will need to be counter bored to fit with the proper bolts.
