Brake rotors and pads
I am going to center black my fatboy wheels in the winter, will throw in some rotors, are they all the same size? I went on the web and found 11.5" rotors are the most common ones they listed. I am looking for a polished rotor, which brand? I am not looking for $300 rotors ok, something better than stock, 2 tones will be my fav, also getting brake pads too, is Lyndall Z pad good? Thanks

Floating rotors are so much better than anything else out there, it's (in my opinion) foolish to use anything else, especially when they're the same price as i-piece. The Lyndall pads are fantastic. No dust.

Good rotors are not cheap. Floating will work better, but I never have bothered on my bike. I got 2 polished rotors from American Classic on ebay for the price of one of those one's you posted, and I like the design far better too. That style is like the 90's softail pulley's. For my dollar, I'd search ebay for rotors.
As far as Lyndall pads, get the Z plus, they are great. If your bike is 2000-2006 your rotors should be 11.5"
Check out these rotors. They would match nicely and are floating.

I know you don't want to buy off ebay, so search around and see if anyone else has these. For my money, those are it. with balcked out wheels with aluminum edges.

I never had braking problem, I use engine compression more than hitting the brakes to be honest, of course I know floating rotors are better but don't need them. Thanks for the input!
HarleyGoodies, those rotors are something that I like of, it should look great after I black out my rims, thanks dude!

HarleyGoodies, have you tried those rotors? What make are they? The only thing I worry is warpage in a short period of time, you know motorcycle rotors cant be machined lol.
