Do you have a price list that you PM me? I'm thinking that I might replace the pads since I will have everything apart to replace the rotors. (I really feel like I will be wasting good brake pads though. The current pads have about 4,500 miles on them and plenty of pad remaining.)

Default PFC Brakes

Hello. You find the price list at the link here below.
http://www.performancefriction.com/R...ts_catalog.pdf
The pads you need are the 7627.10's. They sell for $56.25 per caliper set. The HD Forum discounted price is $46.
This is a god deal and you are still going to get the value out of your money being this consumables.

Thanks

I have the same brakes as you do and have a warped rear rotor. I agree that replacement is the only option and will find a good used one on Ebay when I get ready to replace the rear tire again. I'm not keen on hassling with removing the rear wheel unless necessary, so I'll procrastinate. I've had floaters on the front of my last two bikes (EBC and HD) and have had no trouble with them, and I may go with a floater on the rear too this next time around. They isolate heat and flex better than stock rotors, especially the older type that have no floater ring like the newer Brembo bikes have, although I don't know how much the single-ring design helps in this regard. The newer bikes have one floater ring while the true floaters have multiple rings.
