I used to get this slow speed front pulsing on my 82 goldwing 1100 which had around 60 or 60k miles and one of the fellas on the forum advised rebuilding the calipers before replacing the expensive rotors on the 1100 and the pulsing disappeared. The theory was the old pistons seals may not have been allowing either of the total 4 pistons to move exactly horizontal to the rotor as they were designed to do ..I'm baffled so far. So the new rotors were offset by like 1mm and the holes wouldn't line up. Messaged the seller to sort it out but I put the old rotors back on for the time being. I dont know why but i decided to flip the rotors around the the opposite side and face they were on. Gave the calipers and rotors a quick wipe down. Put everything back together. Forgot to balance my wheels so I'll do it today.
I didn’t even get a chance to check if the rotors were warped or wether they were still in spec as those old rotors are super thick and heavy ..
Please update us on the pulsing after you get a chance to test ride

When the bike was still on the lift I spun the front wheel. It spins freely even with the old rotors but you can hear a slight contact sound on the 1 side where the rotor must me catching the pad in 1 place as it rotates. However, I rode 27 miles out and back and didnt feel the pulsing at all... I cant figure it out?? Maybe you're onto something and I just had to get the calipers cleaned and force them back open before reinstalling?
