Default rotors | different front to back?

I am currently running DNA chrome rotors on my bike and want to swap them out for some nicer, floating rotors and am finding different part numbers for fronts and rears.

click HERE to see them.

I don't recall having different ones on my current set-up front to back. is that the case? I thought all 3 rotors were the same disc. what's the difference?

thanks!

Knowing what bike you're putting them on would be great.

The front and rear rotors are a very different design and I was not able to find ones that match by brand, nor looks. I went with a Wilwood rear and Galfer fronts.

Edit: After looking at your pics, you have aftermarket wheels that do not use the same type of front rotors as stock. In that case it is very possible that you have 3 matching rotors. One thing to note though. From Harley the front rotors are a bit thinner than the rear. Not sure if your rotors account for that?

^ correct, as mentioned in the OP.

I have squared it away...and you are right, there is a thickness difference front to rear.
I just really don't recall it when installed (tho 3 year ago) but have confirmed when ordering a new wheel set.

Glad you got it figured out.
