FAQs

Is this a direct replacement for the stock Harley disc?

Yes, the DF680CWUR is designed as a direct replacement for the stock front disc on specified Harley Davidson models.

Do I need to replace my brake pads when installing this disc?

It is highly recommended to install new brake pads when using a new disc to ensure even wear and maximum performance.

What does the 'floating' aspect of this disc mean?

A floating disc uses a two-piece construction that allows the outer rotor to move slightly independently from the inner carrier, accommodating thermal expansion.

Can I use these discs for racing?

While these discs provide performance benefits, they are engineered for street and touring applications. For dedicated track use, consult Galfer for specialized competition products.

How often should I clean the wave cutouts?

The wave cutouts are self-cleaning during operation. Periodic cleaning with brake cleaner during routine maintenance is sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Brake vibration or 'pulsing' at low speeds

Check for loose mounting bolts or debris between the rotor and the wheel hub. Ensure the floating bobbins are free to move.

Reduced stopping power immediately after installation

The disc requires a bedding-in process. Follow the procedure of performing controlled stops to mate the pads to the new disc surface.

Squealing noise when braking

Ensure brake pads are not worn down to the metal and that they are compatible with stainless steel rotors. Apply thin anti-squeal paste to the back of the pads if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved heat dissipation preventing brake fade
  • Enhanced aesthetic appeal with the signature wave design
  • Consistent and predictable lever feel
  • High-grade stainless steel construction

Cons

  • Requires professional installation to ensure proper floating clearance
  • Bedding-in process required for optimal performance
  • May be more expensive than standard non-floating replacement rotors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility is strictly limited to the Harley Davidson FLDE1750 model years 2018-2020.

  1. Installation: Ensure the wheel hub surface is clean and free of rust or debris before mounting. Always use new mounting hardware and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  2. Bedding-in: After installation, perform a proper bedding-in procedure by making several medium-intensity stops from moderate speeds to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the disc.
  3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the disc for deep grooves or scoring. Clean with a non-residue brake cleaner; avoid using harsh chemicals or oil-based solvents that could contaminate the pads.
