Default brake rotors?

I've been wanting some new brake rotors for a while now and a local dealer has a good deal on polished rotors that you exchange for your stocke ones. Has anyone swapped out there stock floating front rotor for a standard rotor? I would think you can use a regular rotor instead and it will fit. The polished ones they have look so much better then the almost solid front disk.

You will need good LBR pads so they will not scratch the polished rotors. U can PM me or call toll free if you do not know.

I installed new rotors from Hogpro with Lyndall Z pads. The bike looks a whole lot better and the braking is much improved. This combination also got rid of a very annoying brake squeal.

You can polish out a pair of stock rotors with about 5 bucks worth of sandpaper.


EBC Kevlar pads are easy on polished rotors. They leave a nice satin sheen on the wear surface.

If you don't feel like polishing out a set of stockers or want another style, you can pick up aftermarket polished rotors for about 45 bucks a piece.
