there's no such thing as harley floaters, they are quasi floaters at best.

I put 08 Brembo front brakes on my 07. I bought the complete set-up from a guy on this forum for $350. BTW, the rotors are different than previous.

+1... The Brembo's on this '09 are fantastic brakes.

I'm pretty sure this is a full floating roter and its an HD product.

Hate to be an ignoramus, but what is the benefit of having the rotor "float"?

A floating rotor allows the brake surface to slightly adjust itself so that all of the rotor contacts all of the break pad, it also resists warping because of its ability to move. The improvements over a stock non floating rotor are marginal at best usually.

they disapate heat faster, which keeps the brakes from overheating. They are also noisier than 2 piece or single piece rotors.

QTM Brembo setup if the pads don't do the trick.
