The Harley Rotor Fitment Guide
When customizing your Harley, it's important to double-check all parts to ensure you've got the right stuff. This involves taking careful measurements on everything, from tire heights and wiring length to gas tank volume and rotor size.
Measuring the size of a rotor can be an intricate process; it's oftentimes hard to tell what rotor size will work best for the front and the rear of your bike.
This quick guide provides complete fitment information for 11.5" front and rear rotors and 11.8" front and rear rotors. We hope it'll make things clearer as you continue working towards bringing the vision of your customized Harley to life. Once you know what fits, shop Harley brake rotors, plus brake pads and calipers to match.
A Quick Note On Harley Wheels
- '99 & Earlier Harley-Davidson Wheels:
- '00 & Later Harley Davidson Wheels:
To mount rotors to the earlier wheels with the smaller locating ring they'll require an adapter ring in the center hole of the rotor to make the center hole diameter 1.985". Rotors that say they will fit both early and late style wheels, such as the one from Flo Motosports will come with the adapter ring.
