Rear Rotors

[Paw Paw Willie]

Anyone know of aftermarkets? Mine are getting worn thin and grooved after 20000 miles.

performance machine has a kit...the newer harley rotors and pads are better also I found out..

mine were groved and worn after 4000 miles and just replaced them..

The pads were coming off in patches..Something is not right with the brakes from earlier years..

[Paw Paw Willie]

What year is yours? Mine is an 11. I replaced the pads at 14000 miles with Lyndals. That got rid of the noise for a while, but it's coming back. My rotors are pretty grooved up. Would just to get something that lasts longer.

I have a 2010 and just put the lindals on with the new harley rotors..Not sure how well the lyndalls stop until I break them in..DP brake sells pads for the TRI Glide and that is the supplier for Performance Machine I been reading..

I kknow there has been ugrades of some sort to the rotors and pads..The new harley pads look alot better but I have not tested them yet..

The Performance Machine rotors are 11.5" and if I remember right they require a 18" rim. I replaced the rotors on mine with the new HD rotors while doing the PM stage 1 kit, only time and mileage will tell how well things work out.

I've heard a few people mention the "new" HD rotors. Do you have an idea of when the "new" ones started to be used? I have an '11 that was built in Dec '10.

Take a look at your rotor and it has a number..If it has a letter like "A" or "B" after the number then it has been revised in someway..

I think the nwer rotors have a "A" after the harley part number

The newer brake pads have a "B" after the part number. So most likley it has been revised twice in some way..

I think the rotors were updated in 2011, the master cylinder and rear brake calipers were updated in 2011, so you'll have all that.

If I remember correctly you can still use your Harley rotors and just get the caliper kit they sell..

They sell a Stage 1 kit which comes with mounting hardware to mount the new rear calipers and it also comes with a new master cylinder. Right now I would hold off buying their Stage 1 or Stage 2 kit until the master cylinder fitment issue has been resolved.

Is there a clearance issue on the master cylinder??

Is there a clearance issue on the master cylinder??

Yeah there is, I get about 3/16" of clearance between the header and the back of the PM master cylinder reservoir, way to close. Here are three pictures.
