So I need to replace my rotors that warped at 3,000 mile but dealer kept say they where within spec and wouldn't do anything. They now have 20,000 miles on them and I need new pads cuz there all getting thin. but especially one of the front inside pads is almost gone. so I am going to get new rotors and pads.
hopping theres a rotor out there that's less likley to warp.
what do you think of any of these?

I run HD floaters. They are better at dissipating heat, thus less chances of warping.

 

I have bought two used bikes that had those rotors on them and both times they were extremely warped. When I say extremely warped I mean the front elver was shaking so bad I couldn't really hold on to it to actually stop the bike. I have no idea of the mileage or treatment of rotor before I bought the bikes, but I would never buy those with my experiences with them.

Pros are reasonably priced and floaters, cons are that they will still warp.

 

I've had no problems with Harley floaters, although I am about to install EBC. I'm in the process of changing to Brembo calipers, so need new larger diameter rotors and thought I would try them.

 

I like EBCs!

 

60,000 miles on my HD floaters. No issues.

 

Good to hear they worked well for others. Dunno, they were both on Dyna's as well which is a bike that is so much nigher than a bagger.

 

Did both Dyna's have 2 rotors on the front wheel?

 

I recently installed the HD Thunderstar FF rotors. Got about 1k miles on em. No major problems like warping... But, The hole pattern is kinda funky as they dont seem to fit the calipers/pads as good as I'd expected. you can see one row is half on/off the bottom of the pads and one row misses completly. The catalog says they fit stock wheels. There is also a zzzzzzz noise from them like a playing card in bicycle spokes. It's not a big deal I'm used to it now. I also installed Lyndall Z+ pads, Wheel Bearings,Speed Bleeders,And flushed fluid. Also polished lowers while I had it all apart.
If you do want to go with them order from Kutter for $133.00ea.

 

Floating rotors on my 03 Lorider never a problem. Floating rotors on my 08 CVO Roadking, replaced 3 times. Hope the 3rd. time is a charm.
