RE: Floating Rotors

Same here except that I use Lyndall pads for front & rear. Superb braking with little to no dust.

RE: Floating Rotors

An cooler (less heat) breaking system.

hey Bountyhunter Did you replace your brake pads at the same time?

Yes, change the pads, lose the OEM pads and try some Lyndall's, great pads!

Topper, that is one bad *** lookin' Street Glide! Love the Thunderheader and wheels. Where did you get the wheels and rotors?

Better performance, longer pad life, no squealing, quality stainless/less corrosion and COOLER appearance.

Perfect, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks!

RE: Floating Rotors

Mine came from the dealer with front HD floaters. Slight squeaking at low speeds with no brake application, but goes away when applied. Makes noticeable "rubbing" sound, probably all the time, but only discernable at low speeds. Neither noise bothers me.

Topper, that bike is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Great job!!![sm=Awwww.gif]

RE: Floating Rotors

Topper, Your rotors appear to be smaller in diameter than some of the others. Are you using stock calipers?

RE: Floating Rotors

Timbo, Thanks! Wheels and rotors are made by Perfomance Machine www.performancemachine.com

Big O Dave, Thanks!

mchacon, yes, I'm still running stock calipers for now. Rotors are 13".
