If the rotors are off of an 08 they will be the incorrect size. 08 runs 11.8" rotors and 2000 is set up for 11.5"

11.8 rotors............ they sure are ! ran into this problem myself.

put the wheel on and couldn't believe the rotors were hitting. never new there was any size except 11.5 rotors.

i'm glad i read it here, that there ARE 11.8 rotors !

how often did Harley use these 11.8 rotors rather than the 11.5's ??

08 and later touring models use 11.8 rotors and also some later model dynas run 11.8 too.

I will be using my 11.5" since I am aware that HD went to 11.8" on later years. Thanks

Finally done, 18" wheel swap with new Michelin Commander II and I am very happy with it. Very easy swap. Thank you all for your help and advise.

Best regards,
Ed
