well, the engineers at w8lessbrakes disagree. they just called to tell me the 2006-07 rotors won't work and they're machining new rotors for 2008 bikes and my wheels are delayed.

not sure what yer point is though, but i'm glad i am going with the new brakes i've purchased.

just did a search, certainly not anywhere near as saturated a topic as you would like to suggest.
but hey, good luck.

What ever. I know for a fact that the 2007 FXD has 11.8" / 300mm rotors. I just upgraded to Brembo 12.6" / 320mm rotors and I must of measured everything at least twenty times.

chandler, the factory screwed up on mine as well.

When they built my 06 FXDI back in 05, they put the 08 rotors on it.
