my 07 Ultra has 30K on stock rotors and no warpage or brake surge.
my 08 roadglide has 15K floating H-D rotors and very serious surge. I also get a clank when first applying the brakes. I believe I have a bad caliper on the 08 with one (or more) piston/s not fully retracting. hence the worped rotor/s and clank. although under warranty, the rotors were installed after purchase and are out of the general BS added component warranty. trying to decide if I need to take it in under warranty about the clank, or on my own determine which rotor is worped and replace my self.

Same as most above, no warping on the front rotor. I would try to get them to either rebuild or replace the whole front caliper system. The only thing that I can think of is that it is not applying the same amount of pressure to both sides of the rotor. This might cause the warping. Not sure if that is the problem but I have seen this happen on cars.
