By What size are Harley rotors?
To mount rotors to the earlier wheels with the smaller locating ring they’ll require an adapter ring in the center hole of the rotor to make the center hole diameter 1.985″….11.5″ Rear Rotor Fitment.

What rotors are interchangeable?
Generally, disk brake rotors of same diameter are thought of as cross-compatible, but there are some edge cases when this might not be true: Rotor thickness might not be the same across manufacturers and disk brake calipers might be designed with thicker/thinner rotor in mind.
How much should replacing rotors cost?
On average, most people end up paying somewhere between $320 and $430 as their brake rotor replacement cost. That includes parts, which will cost you between $200 and $300, and labor, which will be between $100 and $150.

What are floating rotors Harley?
A floating rotor isolates the heat buildup to the friction blade. It is specifically designed to get rid of the heat as fast as possible. Keeping the heat isolated also reduces the likelihood of having heat-soaked rotors, where they are so hot that the only real way to get them back to a safe temp is to stop riding.
Can you turn motorcycle rotors?
All too true, and as zedX11 mentioned you should not turn motorcycle rotors. If it is worn down to the minimum thickness, or grooved past the point of no return it needs to be replaced. If your grooves are not too bad, and the rotor is well within the thickness specs you can (I do this with whenever I change pads):
Are Shimano and SRAM centerlock rotors interchangeable?
You can use Shimano rotors with SRAM brakes when: The current brake system is compatible with the diameter of the new rotor. If you’re switching to a larger rotor, you will need an adapter. If you’re running Shimano 203mm rotors, you may also need an extra washer for additional clearance.
Are front rotors bigger than rear?
When front brakes < rear brakes the rear of the car will lock up first and cause the backend to slide around (oversteer). The former is safer for road cars. Since the front brakes do more work they are bigger (or “better”).
Can I replace rotors and not pads?
It is true that when you replace just the rotors and keep the old brake pads, you save money and time. Even if you can get by with just replacing the rotors, you may want to replace the brake pads at the same time–even if they do not strictly need it. The grooved areas of the pads cannot reach the rotors.
Are OEM rotors better than aftermarket?
For example, some aftermarket rotors are as much as 15% lighter than OEM rotors. OEM rotors, on the other hand, cost slightly more because they’re better built and with better quality materials. But, you’ll get better braking performance, without any worry about problems caused by cheap components.
Are Brembo rotors worth it?
Mostly because it’s worth it, better braking on a car that can reach triple digit speeds without trying that hard. Brembos don’t necessarily mean better stopping distance, only the ability to stop as hard more often. You would need larger rotors and more pistons to achieve better stopping distance.
