Since buying my 96 Ultra, I've noticed that my front rotors are warped and need replacing.
Now my question is... How hard is it to remove the front wheel and replace front rotors ?
The first question should be why are your rotors warped? I'd hate to have to replace them a second time...............
The bike is from Miami Florida, not that means much, but you can develope hot spots (warpage) when hot rotors make contact with cool water.
I used to have problems with my rotors on my cage due to this when I used to live in Fla years ago. With the hot climate and frquent rains, this was a common problem for me anyhow.
Thanks for the explainations chicago spike and ratcat...

I remember hearing about being able to bend the warped rotors back straight, but can't remember where I heard about it! might want to do a seqarch for it.
