I run Xtreme Machine wavy rotors with Lyndall Z pads.
Best stopping combo I've ever had. Look great and NEVER fade or squeel.

 

+1 for HD floating rotors and Lyndall pads.

Have not found any other source with floating rotors for less; even if you buy at your local HD dealership paying full catalog price.

 

The guy 3 posts up here...Eastern polished rotors with slits, not holes, Lyndall Z+ pads, Magnum black pearl braided lines, and Speedbleeders. I've run an easy bottle of DOT 5 through both the front and rear brakes, and my stopping power is still compromised. I'll be looking at the V-Rod Brembos when I replace the rotors.

 

I've got lots of options to look into now. Time to get busy and get this project moving. Thanks for all the info!

 

Know of a place to get good prices on those?

 

Guys help me out, whats the difference between floating disk brakes and the factory disk brakes on my '07 nighttrain? What would i need to put floating disk brakes on my bike? Thanks!!

 

A floating rotor. that's it....

 

Thank you very much,sir.

 

Very nice. Where do you get those?

 

You noticed braking got worse after adding the rotors? I would swap out the rotor with the stock one again without touching anything else just to be sure before spending any more green. Your prob may be something else. Hey just curious... why the mention of running a full bottle of DOT 5?

I'm also not crazy about speedbleeders. Heard something about some not sealing quite right. What brand are using? Speedbleeder, Russell? If the type you are using required sealant on the thread, throw them in the trash.
