Go to the Lyndall website and price out a black, ceramic rotor, $549.00 each, OUCH! And that's only if you do the front, $1098 for front and back, Over $1650 for a dual front brake setup, + shipping.

Undoubtedly a great product, but just to look "pretty" on a Fatty or other bike, I hope there is a lot of cash in family.

Yep, I got a little turned on when I saw them, until I saw the price! My happiness quickly turned to sadness!

Look sharp though. Probably a silly question, but is there any less stopping power? Do you need special brake pads for them?

I know lots of guys who have put way more than $1700 in their bike "just to make it look pretty". And most of it was just chrome! At least he would be buying something that is functional as well as "pretty".
