Default Ideas please on which front brake rotors to get?

I's like some nice shiney ones to bling up the front end a bit. I have the stock RK custom wheels. Which ones do you guys think match the best? Or does it really matter?

Check out the H/D Accessory catalog, they have a couple pages and get them cheaper thru Zanotti's H/D website. If I were gonna change out the rotors for any reason, I would go with a nice set of " shiney" polished or chrome "floaters" ,rather than just plain old chrome , LOL ! Your call ....

For your wheel... Have to agree with the polished rotors... ($140.00)

For not a whole lot more money than a "new" set of stock rotors sent out to polish, Zanotti's sent me a pair of "classic" chrome rotors. Now besides a different look, these floating rotors won't wear more on the inside like the solid rotors do. And they're quiter. And the braking action is firmer.

I have the "Classic" Chrome Rotors on my bike. Even though the MotoCo website dosn't say it, they are floating.

A little pricey but I like the looks and unsprung weight loss.
