Will yours move back and fourth when you try to move the friction ring? Harley sells rotors that are just like that in the picture, however, looks can be deceiving without moving them back and fourth yourself. Thanks...H

If I was duped by H-D when I had these installed at the time of purchase, I’m going to go ballistic [:@]

Have you had hd flip your rotors. It is a TSB on the street glides to have them flipped. If you do the screech will be gone. Also new brake pads would work well for you as well.

Sorry for my ignorance but, I’m not sure what you mean by “moving back and forth.” How does one accomplish this? Do I hold the brake and rock the bike back and forth?

The reason for floating rotors is because when the friction ring gets hot, the characteristics of the friction ring changes. The ring may not be flat when hot, however, when it floats (with solid mounted calipers), the movement is managed by the springs/buttons. If your friction ring is solid mounted, you may feel Pulsating in the hand lever through the master cylinder as the brake fluid is pulsated through the pistons moving back and fourth.
If your rotors are good for you than what is the difference in a name? They work for you, than they are good for you!

RE: ROTOR UPGRADE
My stock HD rotors never squealed but I upgraded to HD 6-spoke floaters when the stockers warped and were replaced on warranty.
