Default Floating rotors for 17 RGU?

Are there any reasonably priced floating rotors that fit the M8, I am finding very few options below $250 per rotor. Any help appreciated.

Hello,

I have a pair of take offs from a 2017 Limited (less that 2 miles when they were removed). All of the factory machining marks are visible. I would sell both for 150.00 shipped to your location.

Arlen Ness has their Wave rotors...that’s what I’m putting on my bike next week.

they ARE floating, but not in the true “button style” type of floaters we are so use to. They use a wave washer to provide the floating action instead. While they looked like they’re solidly bolted on, they do float.

I’m having issues with mine pulsing bad, so I’m trying the Ness rotors and new pads. If I had a 19” wheel...I’d be tempted to but on the big brake kit from Ness

following...my 17 RK started pulsating July, 2017 during Glacier trip..within spec so no warranty replacements so i opted to just live with it..but now I need front tire, pads and possibly wheel bearing so contemplating just paying for new rotors..but HD doesn't offer floaters for my Impeller OEM wheel so need to replace with OEM rotors and hope they don't have a recurrence, or look elsewhere..not sure yet what to do..may just replace with OEM one time and give them another chance but confidence isn't high my originals warped as just a fluke..frustrating...too much money spent on bike to just accept the pulsating braking experience constantly and then not even really knowing if buying new ones won't have it happen again...

Default 17 RK front brakes

2017 Road King.... Both front rotors replaced at 11,000 miles and 1 at 18,000. All on Harley dime. My dealer spent 20 minutes on the phone with Corporate discussing what is going on with my front brakes. Corporate suggest that it may be operator error and/or the Harley touring bikes really shouldn’t be ridden hard in the twisties of North Carolina and Tennessee....... REALLY? I love my King and ride 10,000 miles a year on it.
