It does not take much to warp a rotor.
A disc lock that bangs against the slider.
A piston that sticks.
A careless tire installation.
Banging rotor against something in the garage.
While not an approved method i have improved a slightly warped rotor with whatever tool was available more than once when a fellow rider has forgotten to remove a rotor lock or got a sloppy tire change from a dealer.
I then taped a sharpie to the slider as i spun the wheel to check progress.

Default Matrix rotors

Check-Out Matrix rotors. They are light and look good too. And the bike seems to stop better also.

pretty pricy; just looked at their web-site and a single front rotor for an Electraglide is $399. Might as well get a Roland Sand if you're gonna spend that much.

if you're going to spend that kind of money, spend it on a company who was born from their performance products...not the child of a company who was/is based on flashy products. you're paying for a name with them

you are comparing apples to oranges
Roland Sand is strictly cosmetic
Lyndall is cosmetic and performance

Is that a Lyndall set-up? Your front end looks awesome.
