Default Wheel/Roter/Pully question

Hope someone can help me here. I have decided to change my wheels to polished solid rims on my 05 Fatboy. So figure at the same time I might as well change my Rotors, Pulley and calipers. I don't know much about this though. Like I said I am going to go with solid chrome wheels, the guy gave me a price on a solid chrome pulley too, but don't know about rotors. I see there are floating rotors and regular ones I guess. Which are better and what are the differences. I can’t seem to find that info anywhere. Also when trying to find that info I came across an "inside/out break pulley kit". Anyone have any thoughts on these? It might clean up the back end a bit.....I don’t know. Here is a link http://www.customchrome.com/catalogs/CCP2006/0956.html If I don’t go with something like that I need to change my calipers too.......oh man so confused!!!!! If anyone can please help me out here it would be greatly appreciated!

floating rotors are supossed to better due to less warping when heated up.as far the puuley rotor
combo dont no much there but every one is using them.

The fun never stops hey!

I have seen a few bikes with a pulley/brake setup like that, very custom and great looking I think. IMO I would go with the floating discs and solid pulley. The standard discs are the biggest culprit for brake noise. I am in the process of burning up my rear tire so when I have a new one installed I will do the pulley and brake upgrade. Remember if you have chromed wheels you will see the back of the pulley in the reflection so a solid pulley would be better instead of the cover.

I can't wait to see pictures of your upgrades.
