Can anyone tell me where I might get some black rotors for my '07 Fatboy? Will they stay black even after a lot of braking?

They will not stay black unless they are black all the way thru. The pads will eventually grind away enough metal.

 

The ONLY black rotors I have ever seen, were on a Night Train Show bike. The guy had them annodized. My GUESS is, it would NOT last very long at all, once you started putting the friction and heat to it.
Annodized is a 'coating', and the color would need to be ALL the way thru the rotor to last. The ONLY way I know of to do that, would be during the 'foundry' process OR find someone who can make ceramic rotors.

BUT, I got divorced, so you know for a fact, I have been WRONG, at least ONCE. WELL, okay, TWICE, I do still ride a panhead.

 

They seem to do them

The APEX Performance Rotor is an ultra-light friction ring fully CNC machined from functionally gradient metal composite material and is fitted to a 7075 T6 billet Aluminum carrier with 16 mm Aluminum buttons. The entire 11.5” & 13” fully floating rotor weighs 1.8 pounds. Raced on by land speed record holders and #1 Top Fuel and Pro Fuel AHDRA champions and used by champion builders around the world, APEX Performance Rotors are available to fit most applications and are fully customizable.

 

I was gonna say Lyndall, but they are not inexpensive at all.

 

THERE'S the 'composite' manufacturer, Danny D.
Thanx, Freebird.

 

Did you take that from their website, or do you do commercials for them?

 

Your Welcome.

 

From there site.

But thanks for implying I'm that literate.
