The worst of it was even the HD service department acted like I was stupid... I used to trust these guys to steer me in the right direction, and am friends with my advisor. They even looked at me like I was nuts. IT WAS AN OBVIOUS PULSING TOO!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Actually, the shirt is starting to unravel in the middle of the back and the hat is kinda ghetto(hat with a huge bill thats worn off to the side)... not my normal style. I prefer a more "normal" or "classic" type hat. I tried it on and my wife laughed so hard she fell to the floor holding her sides. She's quite the support system.

Also, it's the beginning of show season.
Most manufacturers are focused on showing new products at these parts shows.

What kind of signs alerted you the rotors were bad? I was in a wreck and got my bike back together around Sept.2010. I got a little riding in before it got cold but the rotors are making a buzzing noise. I thought (and was told) it would go away after a few hundred miles but so far it has not. Just curious.

the rotors should have never warped in the 1st place, just curious what is to stop the next set from warping?
Machine wheels.

Had the same issues with the same rims. I took my bike to PM, had one of their people look at it, found it to be, u guessed it, warped rotors. They replaced both and all was fine.

I'm wondering how long the replacement set will last. Cost of two rotors is $659.90

I would hope they do something for you... I now know it is an ongoing problem, but since they "repaired" my rotors I have had no issues. Something tells me either they have really poor quality control or they designed these rotors poorly. To think they checked my rotors when I sent the whole front wheel assembly back and told me they were in spec. Then why was there a repair made? It's not like brakes are important or anything...
