Solid vs Floating Rotor
I have to replace the front rotor on my new to me Heritage.
I looked on the Harley site and found that there is only $10.00 difference in price.
What are the advantages or disadvantages in each?
Thanks

The primary advantage is that a full floater will line itself up to the pad surface when the brakes are applied to provided the greatest pad-to-rotor contact area. So, better braking efficiency and stopping power.

Edit: I added the "2008" and "Front" for further clarification...Rear is sliding (aka "floating") on an 08

Answer
+1 Just look at them before answering. The caliper would slide on a rod like the older HD did if it was a floating caliper.
