Rotors - Chrome or Polished???
I am ready to look into rotors for my bike.....What have you guys and gals found to be better for performance and longivity? Does the chrome even last, or the polished just tarnish???
Thanks All!

I ain't seeing how chrome doesn't wear off the surface where the pad rides.
Anyway, you can polish your stockers out to look like mirrors for about 5 bucks worth of sandpaper or buy a pair of polished aftermarket rotors for 100 bucks. I have done both. I polished and ran my stock rotors for 6 years before replacing them with some el cheapo polished ones after bending one of the original rotors. Either way, they will stay shiny and not tarnish.
