Product Description
Harley-Davidson Front Brake Rotor Fugitive – 41500212
This Harley-Davidson front brake rotor, part number 41500212, is manufactured to exact Original Equipment specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. The rotor’s operation is straightforward: it mounts to the wheel hub, and when the brake caliper applies pressure to its surface, friction converts kinetic energy into heat, effectively slowing the motorcycle. Its polished finish provides a distinctive, chrome-like appearance that enhances the look of stock or custom Fugitive wheels.
This rotor is designed for professional installation on specific Harley-Davidson Touring models. Key applications include the 2023 and later FLHXSE and FLTRXSE, as well as 2024-later FLHX, FLTRX, and FLTRXSTSE models equipped with Fugitive wheels. Hipsen supports car brake companies and builders seeking performance brake rotor sourcing or custom brake rotor finishing options. This component is intended for professional use and is not for sale to individuals.

1.What Is a Brake Rotor?

Brake rotors on most vehicles are about the size of a dinner plate and made out of steel. They are bolted to the wheel hub and the brake caliper sits over top of them, with a pair of brake pads seated on either side of the rotor in the caliper.
When you press the brake in your car you force the master brake cylinder to compress brake fluid into the brake caliper and that pressure pushes the brake pads together using the pistons in the caliper. The friction between the brake pads, which wear down over time, pressing against the steel brake rotor causes the rotor to slow down and eventually stop the vehicle.
2.How to measure brake rotors?
To measure a brake rotor, you’ll need a caliper or micrometer to check its thickness. First, find the minimum thickness specification, which is usually stamped on the rotor’s “hat” or edge. Then, take the measurement at the thinnest point on the rotor’s braking surface, taking multiple readings around the rotor’s circumference. If any reading is at or below the minimum, the rotor needs to be replaced.
Materials and tools needed
Rotor gauge or digital caliper
Micrometer (optional, but highly accurate)
Safety glasses
Vehicle owner’s manual or service information
Flat surface and a level parking spot
3.How often to change brake rotors?
You should change your brake rotors when they are warped, grooved, or worn past their minimum thickness, which often occurs between 50,000 and 70,000 miles. Factors like aggressive driving, towing, and poor weather can cause them to wear out faster, so it’s important to inspect them regularly and listen for signs of wear like grinding or vibration.
4.How to clean brake rotors?
To clean brake rotors, first safely lift and secure the vehicle, then remove the wheel. Apply a dedicated brake cleaner to the rotor and use a clean cloth or brush to wipe down the surface and remove dirt and debris. For heavy rust, you may need to use a wire brush or, in some cases, hot, soapy water after the initial spray. Finally, reassemble the wheel, lower the vehicle, and gently pump the brake pedal before driving to ensure proper function.
