I've got polished rotors on both of my bikes. I prefer Lyndall Racing Brakes Z-Plus Brakes. They have great stopping ability and do not leave excess brake dust.

You rotor is going to get scored no matter what kind of pad you use. I also use the Lyndall z plus.

I'd like to see if these work as advertised: http://www.rayguntechnology.com/

If they stayed 'shiny' and not scored looking that would be great. Not sure how it's possible, but maybe it is.

Nice Elsupremo, but how much? Don't see any prices on the site.

A buddy of mine went to the dealer show in ohio a few weeks back. When he came back those rotors were all he talked about. I Think he said they were around 400.00 each

I think he will be getting a set

I put a set of "Mirror Polished" rotors on my Train..... 500 miles later they are still shiny as heck getting grabbed by a set of $25.00 Flea-Bay pads.

It dosent stop worth a crap. I cant wait til the rotors are worn down past that shine!
