Maybe "dude" is saying he's not intimidated by the squids, and its his road too. Who knows? Maybe English is his second language.

Pretty simple!!! I posted about my experience with the rotors and LRB pads and this guy goes WAY south, Said nothing about passing aggressive or slower riders. (Some peoples kids).

Probably on med's. I've been thinking about trying the floating rotors to get rid of my squealing brakes. I have the "Z" pads with polished rotors.

What I do not understand is why you put a floater on the rear as opposed to the front. The front is where the vast majority of your stopping power is. I'd iamgine you would feel even more of a difference with a floater on the front. Could this be the next mod?

Doc, The rotor on HD Cast mags mounts different than a spoked wheel, its a wider bolt pattern up higher on the wheel, a shouldered bolt locates the rotor, i looked for a true floating rotor for cast mags with no luck,
Its a floater of sorts, (kinda)

was having those california flasbacks! and they are a MFr. SORRY. and yes I did imbide a little. I hope you find the rotors that you are looking for. When I move to a newer bagger I am looking forward to better brakes as well.

Cool! The thing is too good performance is gonna lock your rear brakes lol, now brake it easy. Lyndall pads are awesome!

The front is the same, but a more positive brake feel!!!!!
