Well there I was, Going down the 10% grade for the 12 miles, or was it 21 miles, [ hiway 14a east of Cody, Wy. ] attempting to keep the wife happy and do 35 mph so she could get pictures, and I began to overheat the brakes, was telling myself the smell was from the bike in front of us but by the time we stopped in Cody, Wy. the rear brakes sounded like I was in the metal to metal sounds, I pulled the right side bag off the Ultra to take a look, brake pad still looks ok for 18,000 miles on them, thin but should get home, but the rotor has a blue tint to it, I looked the some of the brake tip threads but didn't find my answer, should the rotor be replaced or just cleaned up, don't have any pulsation from the rear brakes but I have some from the front.
