RE: floating rotors

What problem are we trying to solve? I've always considered the UC's brakes their strongest point, only way to improve them would be to go to an ABS, biassystem. Hell, I haven't measured but I think our Harley has more brake swept area per poundthen our full roll caged Corvette road coursetrack car. I see a lot of my riding friends get caught up in advertising hype and useway tooaggressive, hard brake pads that are hard on rotors and squeel. I use soft, rotor friendly EBCorganic pads and change them more often. I would find it hard to believe that many here need more,better brakes then my wife and I do on our Ultra with our engine combination. I would hesitate to risk screwing that up to.
