Finally got my 19" Turbine front wheel but no rotors so time to hunt !

My question now is does anyone know what options I have in terms of rotors ? Definitely want to upgrade but I'm not sure if I have a wide range of options because the HD turbine rotor description states: "Fits ’14-later XL ’06-17 DynaŽ (except FXDLS) ’15-later SoftailŽ (except FXSE) ’08-later Touring and ’09-later Trike models with Original Equipment or accessory wheel with 3.25 bolt circle rotor mount." so I wonder if that can be reversed allowing specific XL/Dyna/etc rotors to work but if so, is there a diameter limit ? (12.5" vs 13")

Man that really looks great but how did you get that price? I looked it up at surdyke and its quoting me almost $400 for a primed fender!

come on, eat it for lunch ? You sure you weren’t racing a slammed old school deuce. The lean angle’s are not that far off! This is were rider ability comes Highly into play.

I had the shock extension plus taller tires and felt that helped increase the lean angle. Now that I have a touring bike and sometimes ride back roads with the same group I realized it's partially the rider. Some guys don't know how to take a good line on curves.

I hear u . You had that fat bob hooked up! The one I test drove was a blast, can only imagine with the extra lean angle. I might do something like that with my lrs in the future.

Did you change the rear wheel out also? Love the look of this 19 on the front.

I just by chance picked up a brand new 2020 Road Glide complete Prodigy wheel (rotors, bearings and tire).... I may try it out on the new fat bob and see if I like it.
Does anyone have the torque specs of the axle and pinch bolts? (I'm still waiting on my service manual)
thanks
