Default Aftermarket Polished Rotors

Do any of you use aftermarket polished rotors? If so how do you like them? I am in the process of doing the chrome front end and wheels. I bought a pair of polished OEM rotors off of Ebay. They were warped. Sent them back and they were replaced with a pair that were under the wear limit. Going to send them back too. No more of that. There are several different kinds of new aftermarket polished rotors for between $90 and $150 a pair on Ebay. Just wondered what your experience was with any of them.

Theres very few items I trust to buy off ebay, but thats just me.
I'd spend the extra bucks and go with a reputable company like Hogpro or even HDs floaters.

I got a polished front rotor from Hogpro to match my wheels, its fine no issues. Don't have the $ for the back one yet, when I do, I will most likely go with a new HD floater on the back since you can't see it anyway and will save a few bucks.

Polish them yourself and you will know what you have when you start. I did mine in less than an hour and a half for less than $30. Very simple. Do a search here there are posts on how to do it.

I polished my OEM's, also. However, when they needed replaced. I bought 100 buck a set aftermarkets off of eBay. They have worked just fine for the past 15k or so.

I went through 2 sets of rotors that warped. I just replaced my second set with a set of Hog Pro Lyndall full floaters. They are very expensive but have a lifetime warranty. I wouldn't even consider ebay. The rotors I took off mine look perfect and you can't tell there's a slight warp but you can sure feel it.

I bought the floating POLISH STAINLESS STEEL on e-bay fr KC International and their Organic pads. They work great and have stayed nice, I sometimes can feel a little shutter in them when they align but they stop better than stock IMO.

I have a set of after market polished rotors on my bobber they seem to work just fine. I have a couple of buddies with the same rotors we buy them from Eastern Performance here in MD. They also ship parts and have a web store.
