Hey guy's,

New to forum, and have a symptom to run by you. On my 2010 electra glide, with 15,500 miles on it, each time I apply the front brakes, I can feel what I'll describe as a Rumbling feeling up through the handle bars. Most noticeable the higher speed that I'm traveling. My first thought was to replace the front brake pads which I've done. Old pads were pretty worn, but not cutting into the rotor yet since they still had some meat left on them. No difference. Rotors still feel smooth with no grooves in them. Thought about front wheel bearings, but with only 15,500 miles on the bike, seems a little early for that. Any help you guys have would be appreciated. Also front tire has lots of tread left on it, with no signs of cupping, and tire pressure running at 34 P.S.I. consistantly.

 

Could be slightly warped rotors.

I'm not sure if it is contributing, but without other information about the tires, I'd say 34 PSI is a little low, most run 38-40 in front.

 

I vote for warped rotors.

 

Sounds like a warped rotor. I have the same thing going on with mine.

 

Thank you guys. I'll have them checked out.

 

I don't use may brakes very much so I won't know for a few years but I will keep you informed

 

I vote for the Dunlop front tire. Known issue, the hum, etc.

 

i would still get it up in the air and check out those crappy wheel bearings HD use's. do you get any pulsing in the front end when applying the brakes? if so i would put a dail indicator on the rotors and check their run out.

 

Check rotors. 34 psi, that is low. Not saying that's the issue. Check your manual.
