Just found that my 2012 FLSTC has a slightly warped front rotor. I'm looking at replacing it with a floating rotor.
Are there any recommendations out there?
TIA! -michael
I put floaters on my touring bike. Only 10 dollars more for the floater. They make a little whine but nothing obnoxious. My Softail has a rotor that is ready to replace and i will go with a floater when its time
I have a Lyndall Lug Drive rotor (Gemini carrier design) on the front of Reaper. I like it very much and would recommend them to anyone looking for a floater.
About one week ago I was removing the rear wheel on my 2012 Heritage to have the tire replaced. As I was doing so I noticed the rotor had a slight warp that put the rotor's lateral runout out of spec. I replaced the rotor with a floating rotor. I was putting an order in with Parts Giant so I just chose one they had that I liked. It is a HardDrive Luck chrome floating rotor that matches the styling of my chrome pulley on the opposite side of the wheel. While I was at it I also replaced the brake pads with Lyndall Gold +.
Thanks, Doc! I still haven't ordered yet as I'm trying to insure that is what is giving me a 'strange' feel when I slow done, especially in a mild turn...
