Braking Vibration......
 \\;Over the last couple weeks I've noticed when riding 2-up, \\; a vibration when braking, it is most noticeable at lower speeds 15mph to a complete stop, it seems to be at the rear mostly although I do feel it at the floorboards too. \\; 06 Ultra.....11,000 miles, stock pads, belt adjustment is good, rear tire is 6months old and properly inflated. \\; I appreciate any ideas as to the cause or remedy of this problem...thanks Guys!

RE: Braking Vibration......
Maybe a warped rotor? Just a thought.
I had a bad rear wheel bearing, that would pulsate as I used my rear brake, but mine also has a slight clicking noise.
16K miles on mine.

If you have stock rotors, they're probably warped. It doesn't take much to get them out of whack. Try a quality floating rotor with a quality brake pad and the problem will probably go away.

Before you go pull it, jack wp the wheel and rotate it while holding something alone the face of the rotor to see run out. Dial indicator is better but most people dont have them.

Yes, I also hink \\;it might only be \\;the engine slowing down. Go out and \\;rev up your engine above 2000 RPMs and you should feel it as the engine slows back to idle. \\;Beary
