Hey All, I've got Harley wheels on my speedy and currently have 11.5" Harley rotors, which is 292 mm. So at this point, only one pad on each caliper is making contact with the rotors.
Anyone seen this done? 11.5 inch rotors? HOW!!!
I've found 300 MM rotors (11.8 inches) that would work. Anyone know if those will be big enough?
Any help would be appreciated. Still stops fine, but it sounds like crap and there's a vibe that i don't like.

Well, if you go to the link, there is a pic of my bike which has Harley rotors and wheels, but the picture is on FB. You must choose, but choose wisely.

No I meant no good looking at Facebook here, its banned at work, but looking at the pic Soren has put up seems you fitted the Harley wheel to our Triumph forks, well done, what size spacers did you have to get turned down to fit the wheel?
what size axle are you running?
1 way to get the right size rotor or disc is to have them specially made, but rather an expensive thing to do.
Had you thought of using 41mm Harley legs and using Harley calipors? standard Harley 41mm Dyna measure 32.5" were our Triumphs measure 34"
Just a thought

Sorry to sound like a jerk. Caught me just after a fight with the girl.
I honestly didn't do the work myself, so I'm not sure the size of the spacers, but I'll find out.
I imagine it will be cheaper to get custom rotors than most other options but I don't know where to go. Any suggestions?

No offence taken, regarding the custom disc's I have no idea in the US, as I'm an Aussie but you could try places like the following http://www.harleycustom.com/Cat-Custom_Brake,_Rotor-12.html
