Front brake pulsing

[2006FXDCI]

I took my bike to the shop that is building my engine last week and noticed when I applied my front brake it was pulsing pretty bad. Any suggestions on a fix? I want to correct it as soon as I get my ride back. Thanks

check the front rotor for warpage

Time to think about new rotors. Some will try to straighten them using a dial indicator. Floating rotors are a nice touch. They shed heat well and that helps against warpage.

Same problem with my 2005 Heritage I had to replace the rotor. There is no other solution

I vote for a rotor replacement also. Floating rotors are a good idea, especially when it is very hot and downhill!!

Had the same problem with my '99 Ultra. Replaced the rotors, and while I was at it, redid the bearings and the brake pads. The new rotors eliminated the problem. Like my old one's, your's are probably warped....

Thanks for the info everyone, I am gonna get a set of floating rotors from hog pro so I have the when I get my bike back from the garage. Should I get new rotor mounting hardware also?

It is recommended to replace fastners.
