Do you get any weird nosies from the front galfers? I put the cubiqs on my 2020 road glide and they sound like a pack of Cicadas chasing me... galfer says this is normal, just air going over the blades..... the harder u apply the brakes the louder it becomes. U can even hear it a little with no brake.

No I haven't experienced that. I did offset mount mine though where the blades aren't in the same orientation on both sides that might have something to do with it.

Ya i may have to try that. Don't know with the cubiqs if it will make much of a difference. They are not cut like the wave rotors. I could be wrong tho. Did u just rotate them 180?

True not sure either. All I did was rotate so that when you look across the wheel from the side they aren't the exact same. Basically like imagine looking at 2 sprockets stacked one tooth off so it looks like they alternate

Thanks I will give that a try and see if it helps. The noise is killing me... they do stop way better than stock rotors, I will give them that. But if I have to hear this everytime I stop they will have to go.... I can hear it over the aftermarket stereo with 800 watt amp... just to give it some context.

Nature of the beast with floating rotors, my EBC do it as well. Doesnt bother me since they stop well.

Has anyone installed a carbon fiber rear fender and/or aftermarket swing arm on their bagger?

I'd be curious to hear feedback, especially on what was used for a license plate bracket for the carbon fender and if you noticed better handling with the swing arm.

Mine are semi floating due to how they mount on the special wheels. I commend you if yours sound like mine and it dont bother you. It's so loud. Going to try and rotate the rotor tonight. If they don't work maybe try some brake lube in the back of the pads. Buts it's not a squealing sound at all. It's so annoying.
