+1 for HD floating rotors and Lyndall pads.
Have not found any other source with floating rotors for less; even if you buy at your local HD dealership paying full catalog price.

I have the DNA Super Spoke rotors with the holes not slits and Lyndall pads. I don't have ANY PROBLEMS with this set-up. It looks like the guy 3 post up has the Eastern Performance rotors with the slits not holes, maybe he is also running stock pads or maybe his bike needs to be bled. who knows but i can tell you my bike will lock up front and backs with no problems.

You noticed braking got worse after adding the rotors? I would swap out the rotor with the stock one again without touching anything else just to be sure before spending any more green. Your prob may be something else. Hey just curious... why the mention of running a full bottle of DOT 5?
I'm also not crazy about speedbleeders. Heard something about some not sealing quite right. What brand are using? Speedbleeder, Russell? If the type you are using required sealant on the thread, throw them in the trash.

The guy 3 posts up here...Eastern polished rotors with slits, not holes, Lyndall Z+ pads, Magnum black pearl braided lines, and Speedbleeders. I've run an easy bottle of DOT 5 through both the front and rear brakes, and my stopping power is still compromised. I'll be looking at the V-Rod Brembos when I replace the rotors.
