Upon close inspection of your rotor, a floating type will be constructed of inner and outer components, stock config. will be one piece. Floating, the outer is typically married to the hard mounted inner by flanged washers. The theoretical advantage is due to the soft mounted mass of the outer will be slightly more immune to warp-age due to heat and the slight amount of give and take for better alignment as to pads and disk. If stock front brakes are in proper condition, at least on my Spmstrs, they are, depending on the rider, true 2-3 finger brakes. High adrenalin, ham fisted front brake pulls adds up to a level 10 pucker condition faster than one can say Hinkley. Been there and done that. So what kind of brake sys. do you have Ray?



Well, I will go have a good check but my initial response is a one piece none floating type. Guess I will go see, don't understand why the manuals did not refer to the differences, matter of fact unless I missed it they never mentioned the two different types. Thanks for the reply.
