I've had good experiences with H-D floating rotors and currently have EBC rotors and pads, front and rear on my Glide. I would additionally recommend braided hoses, for improved feel and performance.

Neither one of you said anything that had anything to do with my question. Guys like you are the problem with this forum, no one can have a discussion because your too busy being trolls. Have a nice life.

It's much better to say nothing IMHO, rather than fan the flames!

I have had good luck straightening my rotors with a dial indicator and a crescent wrench. I have done it a few times with good results.

Ride a lot of mountains myself and ECB floating rotors and ECB Double H Stintered Pads have worked well for me.

I have been through a lot of rotors on the fronts. I know when I first looked there were not a lot of choices with the rushmore change over to a new bolt pattern. I would imagine now there should be more choices. Based on past experiences I would go with EBC or Gaffler.
