Default chrome legs and rotors?

I'm getting my Limiteds legs chrmed soon what did you'll do about the rotors. get chrome or leave them alone.
As you'll know the Limited has chrome wheels with aluminum legs with stainless cowbells. and Not so shiney rotors. I want it all to match.thanks for your input.

I have chrome rotors and I think they complete the front end nicely.

If you have an extra set, send them to ***** Shiny and he will polish them to an unbelievable shine for $100 bux.
Polished stainless, it don't get no better than that, even w/chrome.
That's what I did and they look great!!

I'm doing the same with my Limited. I will put polished rotors on and I am thinking about changing to all chrome wheels too. I think the polished rotors really add to the look.

Are you guys buying extra fork tubes from Harley or is there a company that will polish and chrome the stock units? Like over the winter down time.

I'm getting the chrome lower kit from H-D. Just waiting for the sale they do every year. It will be just my luck if they dont do it this year,

I bought a member's take offs of his glide and then sent them into "***** Shiny" for their chrome exchange and then bought another members rotors and did the polished rotors exchange thing too.Then went with the Progressive Monotubes, another $300 for the front end. If you saw what the moco uses (those chintzy springs) in the front end you would do the same too.
Big difference in the handling too. $$$ well spent.. looks and performance..
