I purchased black Wilwood Rotors for my fatboy and they wore thru the black on my first ride. Do they make black rotors that will stay black and not rub through? I run Lyndall Xtreme pads too

I was looking at the ones on www.hdwheels.com

 

the only rotors that will stay black are carbon-ceramic composite.

 

What Dog said. And they're soooo expensive. But yeah. They're also friggin haut

You could check with @Ink83 what black rotor he's using.

 

lyndall are the only rotors that will stay black...or braketech cmc rotors...i have the cmc carbon rotors on my panigale super light and last forever...but very $$$..the only reason i got them is that i traded my stock forged wheels and 3k for bst carbon wheels with rotors...he paid almost 8k for this set-up

 

So will these stay black? even though they dont say carbon-ceramic composite just want to be sure before shelling out 478$

those are Lyndall composite rotors- about $400 each.

 

Yes those are composite rotors (says so in the product description). They will stay black because the composite compound itself is black. most importantly, they will stop you better. you will need new pads designed for those rotors. do not re-use your old pads, I would call Lyndall to ask what pad they recommend for these rotors and your particular application / riding style. Also make sure you follow the initial break in procedure to the letter.

nice purchase if you get them- I would shop around though for best price.

 

Cant I use the pads I have for these rotors? I have a brand new set of Lyndall Xtreme pads

 

When I put the Wilwood rotors on my Slim I was told to run my old pads until the paint wore off because it gums up the pads. I did as told and then changed out to new pads...you might need to clean those pads really good.
