Removed the front wheel and used a mother's ball and mother's aluminum polish. It's easy with the ball on a drill and only takes a half hour. Those are the rotors I'm going to.

It's starting to crack but no big deal, if it gets to bad I'll modify another, who knows.



Drill a hole or file a radius at the vertex of the two cuts next time. It'll be far less likely to crack.

Not today but since Christmas I've added Vance and Hines slash cut slip-ons, V&H FuelPak, K&N Filter, Viking Saddle Bags, Highway bar and pegs, Cup and phone holders, Boss Bluetooth Stereo, Mustang Solo Seat, LED Headlight and taillight and had it pin striped. I bought this 2013 Super Glide in June of 2019 with a whopping 30 miles on it. Some kid bought it in 2013, rode it home and got scared and parked it in storage. Knucklehead left gas in it so it has a new tank, fuel lines, injectors and new brake lines and calipers. Bike was 6 years old and not even broke in.
