Default Floating Rotors?????

I'm thinking about getting some awesome wheels from HOGPRO. The rotors aren't floating. Polished SS!!!! My 06 SG does squeal with stock setup....if I just replace the rotors w/ these non floating rotors, will the squeal still be there????

Get you a set of Lyndall "Z" brake pads. The noise will be gone and also the brake dust.

There is also a service bulletin out there it says to swap the right and the left. I had it done at the 1k (practically had to beg!). Typical service expectation unless your spending a crap load they don't want to do anything... I think it was a stock wheel/rotor engineering thing wont be a problem on the HP's

By the way.... Ab your wheels look sweet!

I also had a constant noise in front brakes. Tried switching left to right rotors and noise went to other side. Went with floating rotors and noise went away. Must have been a defective rotor but HD did not warranty it. THey said that brake components are not warranteed

My wheels and non-floating wheels are from HogPro as well. I had the floaters on from day 1 and was concerned about this issue as well.

Got my custom wheels and rotors installed and.................. no squealing.

Worry not Rodman. I think you'll be ok.
