RE: what are floating rotors?
These are Metal Matrix Composite friction rings, The carriers are 70 series aluminum. I did not shop on e-Bay to save 50 cents. If I had to make a choice between chrome and performance..... You get what you pay for. If anyone thinks your brakes are adequate for you, than you are correct. I can assure you, that is not the case for me. It is all what you like and need. Your needs are different than mine, but who is wrong? In the eyes of the beholder. One panic stop and maybe you will change your mind, however. I do not shop on e-Bay to save $ on brakes. I have 1 set of EBC’s. Like putting on a Hershey bar. No, I am not telling lies, I tell the truth.

Police model Kings have anti-lock brakes. I've considered adapting them to my scoot.

Those who have not seen a picture of a Harley, raise your hands. I thought so.
