EBC Floating Rotor failed after 20K miles
#12
I have the same EBC rotors with about 15 K miles - they are still OK - I got 150 K miles on the factory rotors - they were thin but not warped. I run hard sometimes and have had the factory rotors discolored black/dark blue from hard repeated braking. I'm wondering if there is another problem that is causing your rotor problems - Eastcoast Jim

I really envy you for your 150K miles on factory rotors... Mine were warped after 25K, and as I said before, I really don't consider myself an aggressive rider. I will update next week, when my mechanic will take it off and maybe we'll find some possible cause other than bad manufacturing.

You can't see people's location or particulars on the mobile version of HDF.

That may work, but on the rotors of mine that did that the buttons you can see had worn into the surfaces of the rotor and hub, on both sides. I bought a fresh set of buttons and washers etc, but unfortunately they didn't sort it out.

I saw an older post on here the other day where you had just bought the HD floaters and had concerns over the larger holes in the rotors not covering the wheel hub holes. How did those work out for you on mileage. I just purchased a set (all 3) and will be installing on my upcoming tire change. Sorry my spell check made me spell it that way. I use Chrome cash to purchase these so another brand may not be an option.

(The Deuce wheel has a large internal cavity which is covered when installed with stock Deuce rotor and pulley. If left open the hub can fill with rain water.)

That was on my Deuce rear wheel for my Glide. I used a Touring pulley and rotor and had to use shim discs, a stock Harley part for that application. In fact I swapped that Harley rotor for an EBC, as I have converted the bike to use later spec Brembo calipers and needed larger diameter rotors. I never actually rode the bike with that H-D rear rotor. I have used them previously and been happy with them, but haven't done a high mileage with them.

Was the Brembo change worth the effort?
