Default Floating Rotors?

Ordered a pair of fronts from Harley for my 05. Price wasn't too bad, $103 each + new chrome bolts. I had a warped left rotor and the right one was worn @ 50,000 miles. I could have got some aftermarket polished rotors for $100 a pair but somehow i thought installing chinese brakes on my bike wasn't a really good idea. Anyone running the floating rotors? Seems like they should work better than the stockers.

I'm running HogPro floating rotors. Brake better than stock but no real weight savings. Also do to the lug design, they clunk when you go over harsh bumps.

To do over I I would have saved up and gone with Lyndall Racing Brakes.

Not sure about Harley brakes. They don't seem to float since they are riveted in place instead of using the floating buttons other brakes do.

Yup! We're looking over your shoulder at those fork inserts.
