Aftermarket front wheel, which rotors fit?
« on: March 09, 2016, 10:52:19 PM »

I recently purchased this 2011 streetglide cvo. the prev owner did a 21inch wheel swap along with new rotors. The problem is, these are not floating rotors and they seem to be warped, i am getting pulsing through the front brake lever. The current rotos are 11.8 tall, and have the same 5 bolt pattern as my stock 2010 cvo conveetible. will the harley 44942-08a rotors likely fit? any help is appriciated!!

If the diameter and bolt hole pattern match, I can't imagine why they wouldn't work.  I assume you still have the stock calipers on the bike, since you didn't mention otherwise.

Yes stock calipers. Is the inside "axle" diameter pretty standard? That's the only measurement I was unsure about

The axle size on Harley Touring models has been 25 mm since 2008.

I can't find the 2010 Cvo convertible front rotor bolt pattern size anywhere. My current rotors match that bolt pattern, so I want to confirm that before I order. The rotors I want to order are 3.25 in per Harley's website.

The rotors that have a center carrier that bolts to the wheel hub all use the same bolt circle diameter and use 5 bolts for attachment.  The only other choice is the one used on some of the cast 18" and 19" wheels on some CVO's, where it's bolted directly to the wheel "spokes", not the hub.  That one has 7 bolts.

See picture attached.

The top rotor pictured is the rotor that I plan on purchasing. I wanted to make sure that the bolt pattern is just as pictured and not a generic picture. My wheels definitely have 5 bolta so it sounds like I should be good to go. Thanks for your help!

What brand 23" wheel do you have? And have you considered a floating rotor from whoever the manufacturer of the wheel is? They may make one that matches the style of your wheel.

I looked for any identification on the outside of the wheel with no luck. The Harley rotors I'm asking about match pretty well, better than oem abyways. I'll let you guys know if they somehow don't fit. Should have them monday
