HI,

Need some advice, I have a chrome front floating rotor by ride wright wheels and would like to know if any body has one on there bike. The concern I have is what is chrome like for braking and the two pieces are held together by cer clips not prest together. The harley OME fells more firmer while the ride wright is more springy where the two parts are joined. The ride wrihgt is 8mm smaller in diameter. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

 

Floating rotors are designed to provide that flex or moment. I ensures precise parallel relationship between the rotor and the pads in the calliper for better braking.

 

I'm running them front and back without any problems.

 

They're probably actually Stainless Steel rather than Chrome. That's just an assumption on my part being that it don't seem likely that Chrome would hold up on rotors. I don't have Ride Wright rotors, but all other rotors I've bought thru the years have been Stainless.

 

The outer band on rotors is never chrome, it is polished stainless steel. If it indeed has been polished it will take a little bit for the pads to bed in and scuff up the outer band. The carrier or inner portion of the rotor is aluminum that has been chromed.
