wachuko, what diameter is your current rear rotor? There are five versions of the front one you have, but I believe they are all the same diameter, just have different central fixings.

Current rotor - 10"

Calling the dealer to see what is the part number of just the 2010 bracket. I hope they sell just that... let me check if there is an issue with the length of the brake line... every other part number looks the same...

2010 Rear Caliper Setup:



2013 Rear Caliper Setup:

Oh, almost forgot, a different axle spacer too. Cant remember if its narrower or wider but the part of the caliper bracket the axle goes through is one of them

In case your wondering. I know this cause I got aftermarket rotors for my 11 48. They were too big. So I swapped caliper brackets with my 08 883. Caliper and hose fit fine but when I tightend the axle everything bound up. When I swapped the left side axle spacers everything worked perfect.

Ok. Looking at the diagrams for the rear axel setup to identify the different spacer number. I think that I have it now.

Starting the list (msrp prices):

Caliper Bracket Part Number: 42835-08 ($65.99)
Vivid Black Floating Rear Rotor Part Number: 44357-00A ($139.95)
Spacer, Rotor Side Part Number: 41730-08 ($7.49) (Funny... on the 2013 it is Part Number 41242-08 and costs only $2.99 and look almost the same... )

Anything else that you remember Rog48??

Cause this rotor doesn't fit the rear of the newer bikes.

If you see the q/a area on that page for the rotor, you'll actually see wachuko asking about the fitment on the rear of the newer bikes.

They said no, it'll only fit upto 2010.
