Best brake replacement video, good lighting, audio and no constant annoying music, saving this one!
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm just a shade tree mechanic, so as always refer to your manuals too!
Friendly advice. Hand thread all bolts on the wheel at once. Then tighten, hopefully not experiencing the washer being misaligned.
Nicely done with good information. I won't be replacing my rotors myself, but this video tells me what to look for before and after the replacement .
Glad to help! Ride safe!
Very good job, concise and to the point. I’m afraid I have a runout issue as well and will follow your video to R&R my rotors and pads too.
Thank you for the feedback, good luck on your project. Ride safe!
Nice video. You are the man, great replacement of parts.✌🏿
Thank you, I'm definitely not a technician but I try! Ride safe
Thanks for that... nice work
Great video! Thanks!
Very welcome! Glad it helped! Ride safe!
Perfect!…the way I like to see and understand!
Q: No need for lock-tight on any of the bolts?
The single use rotor bolts have a factory applied thread locker. The rest don't require any per my shop manual. Consult your bikes manual of course! Ride safe ✌️
Thank you for video. Was your vibration when you applied brake or without braking? I’ve had brake vibration on 2020 road glide limited between 65 and 75 mph. Dealer replaced rotors, pads, and hardware on front wheel and all was good. Also replaced both tires due to wear. 4000 miles later, same vibration is back. Taking back to dealer shortly. Just wondering if problem is similar to yours. Thank you.
Thanks for this helpful video . What brand of torch wrench your using?
Glad you enjoyed the video! I use a Craftsman 3/8, and a Snap-On 1/2 torque wrench.
My brake caliper on the bolt side will not fit into position, not enough room to get it in the bolt on position... any ideas about how to make that work?
Great tips thanks much. what size are the rotor bolts?
The bolts are a unique design specially for mounting the rotors. They should be available at your local dealership, I don't have the specs.
Very good video. Does the wheel need to be balanced after replacing the rotor?
I've never had too, I think the replacement rotors are relatively well balanced. However, with that said I guess it could be possible to get a balance issue after install. Your test ride before and after replacement would reveal that information. Good luck and ride safe!
Thats why I like to run "Ride On" in my tires , continually balances the wheel / tire through out it's life , and no ugly wheel weights .
So, which "side" is better?
The left, or the right?
🤔
Both my clips came out and if it wasn't for my light wires I would have lost my bag, unfortunately it damaged the lid only
Are the rotors supposed to have some play?
Saw this video after the fact.
How much of a mistake did I make facing my rotors with the part# facing inward?
Is it a matter of life and death that they face outward or is this something that can slide?
If your rotors are the same as mine, you will likely be ok. If they are the old style with pockets for the bolt heads, or if they are directional it could be a problem. I would advise calling your local dealership to see if it makes any difference on your particular setup. Ride safe, and good luck!

Thanks.
These are non directional and the don't have the receded part for the bolt like the original.
These new ones have a smaller 3.5" diameter bolt vs the original was closer to 5.5".
The Vibration issue is because of your tires. Michelin Commander 3 are junk they cause the vibration...
Vibration on braking or riding?
There were 2 vibrations felt, one under breaking and one was related to a bad Michelin Commander 3 front tire.
@@motorcycleryder9489 yeah, get Road 5 tires and floating rotors installed with blue locktite not green
@@motorcycleryder9489 The commander 3's were redesigned Jan of 2023ish and are excellent tires now.
