Overview
The Baer Brakes 54068-020 is a front Claw performance rotor set for the 1997–2000 Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition. These vented, cross-drilled and slotted direct replacement rotors are made for 2WD trucks with four-wheel ABS and rear disc brakes.
The slotted and drilled face lets gas and dust leave the space between pad and rotor during braking, which supports a steadier pedal feel and less brake fade. The zinc-plated finish looks bright behind open-center wheels. The Lightning package is excluded, and the application calls for 12 mm lugs, both covered below.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction surface that channels gas and dust away from the pad face
- Vane structure and premium materials intended for cooling and durability
- Mill balanced, direct replacement rotor for the front axle
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes designed to reduce stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for a bright appearance behind open-center wheels
- Full-cast, one-piece construction with a directional brake surface
Before you buy
Brake rotors wear over time and are usually replaced in pairs on the same axle so braking stays even from side to side. Before ordering, compare the hub bolt pattern, center bore and overall height of the old rotor with the new part, and confirm the rear brake type matches the truck.
Cross-drilled and slotted faces are chosen for extra venting and a cleaner pad surface, but they can wear pads faster in some use. Pair the rotors with pads suited to your driving, and bed them in gently before heavy braking.
- Pulsing or shuddering through the pedal
- Grooves, scoring or heat cracks on the friction face
- A raised lip at the outer edge of the rotor
- Thickness near the discard mark cast into the rotor

Vehicle fitment
The set fits the front axle of 1997–2000 Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition trucks with 2WD, four-wheel ABS and rear disc brakes. The Lightning package is excluded. The application requires 12 mm lugs and runs through 11/99 with 12 mm studs.
Other F-150 years and trims, and trucks without this drive and brake setup, are not covered by this set. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Check the lug size before fitting, since the 12 mm lug requirement is part of this application. The ABS tone ring is included with the pair, and the rotors are sold together, so both fronts should be replaced at once. Brake components are safety-critical, so bed in pads and check for runout after installation.
What’s included
A pair of direct replacement front rotors, sold as a set.
Not included: friction pads are not part of this kit.
