Rear Brake Rotor?
I need assistance with locating a HD OEM rear brake rotor online that will fit my 1987 Lowrider. I was able to find some rear rotors through J&P that are all aftermarket, and I'm not sure if the aftermarket rotors will be as good as the HD OEM rotors.
Will any of these work? FYI, I've never replaced this part before so I'm a bit lost as to what aftermarket parts will work.

J&P says all of these will fit my '87 FXLR, I'm just not sure about the difference between zinc and stainless steel, and why one stainless steel rotor is $45 and the other is $95.
As you can tell I'm lost... any help would be appreciated.

A friend of mine put on an aftermarket rear rotor and had a bunch of squealing start.
He replaced the aftermarket one with an OEM one and the squealing went away.
I have no idea which aftermarket rotor he used.
I'd go OEM if possible.

I just put a set of wilwoods on my 1996 low rider and they have worked out ok, I believe this is your application.

Thanks for all the info. I ended up going with the aftermarket rotor from Summitt.
I couldn't pass up on the price.

I'll let you all know how the install goes, and how this part works out. Also do any of you all know what could had split my rotor? Old age, or is there something wrong with my brakes?
The rotor was worn and old. I have a picture, and once I can get my phone hooked up to my computer I'll share it.
