Floating brake rotors or not?
#2
I have a 1996 Electra Glide with floating rotors and a 1996 Road King with stock rotors … both bike are running the same brake pads, Lyndall Z Plus, in stock single piston calipers … I don't really notice a huge difference between the two bikes when it come to stopping power … both stop equally well … as far as I can remember I have not had the need to do a panic stop in the recent past, so I don't have a comparison for that …

Don't know what you have. But I also had a 96 Electra Glide. After a short while front rotors warped, replaced them with floaters, never touched them again, sold it with 65,000 miles on it. I also have a 98 softail that i put a floater on the front just because. It just seems like a common sense thing, but that's just me.

Both of my 1996 models have over 100k … have not had any trouble with either … originally put on the floaters as an upgrade, the stock rotors had not warped
currently I'm rebuilding a 1996 Sportster … I plan to use stock rotor and caliper with Lyndall Z Plus pads … simply because I have not had any problems with the stock rotors …

I have an 87 Electra Glide Classic, she's been my pet project for the past year. I wanna spruce up the rotors from stock. Look, I know. She's a 31 year old bike. I probably have as much in it as I paid for it, but, she's mine, and she looks good, and knock on wood, the engine and tranny is is good shape. Here's a pic
