I'm on my third set of stock rotors at 223,000 miles. I've never had an issue with my rotors. I just replace them every 100,000 miles as part of routine maintenance..Can't really comment on whether the floating rotors would work better.

To be sure, the bike only weighs about 700 pounds and is only ridden solo. Two up on a 900 pound dresser I can't comment on either.

 

As part of ones routine maintenance, make sure to measure the brake rotor thickness with a micrometer during a brake pad replacement. The minimum brake disc thickness is stamped on the side of the rotor.

 

what company was that? I originally had PM rotors to go with my PM calipers, calipers are great, rotors not so much. Both warped within 30K.

 

here's a link to their website. They used call themselves Southern World . I guess they changed their name a little..

Tech tip
Don't throw out the old brake rotor.
You can use the old brake rotor as a support plate if you ever need to remove wheel bearings on a wheel with no hub surface. This saves you the expense of purchasing a tool like the Jims #913, wheel bearing support plate.

 

Good tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks like nice stuff, but looks can be deceiving, I'll stick to a known commodity.

 

The rims are awesome, I have no problems with them. Just don't waste your money on the rotors... I mispelled the company the first time. Their original name was Southern Motorcycle Works.

 

That's a nice looking rim.

 

I've been running EBC floaters for over a year. 10 button in the back, 5 button in the front. Real
smooth lever and pedal feel.
Not the test of time, but like them so far
