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.

thought he was talking about pads. I did my 2005 ultra with gold plus pads and I think they were like $80 for the set , two front and 1 rear, pads only got around 12k on them and still plenty of meat there. never priced their rotors,

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

Default Rotors

Are you talking about pads or rotors?

REL is the manufacturer of those rotors. There was a guy on this forum turboray (Ray Wheeler) who had a company called w8less and worked several years selling these until big problems befell him. He is active on this form so ask him. REL than (I assume) also sold them LINK http://www.cycleworld.com/2010/07/27...roduct-review/ and there you have it. Paul from Lyndall Racing Brake also sells the same product. These were press cast made. There are others on this form who use them. CMM have been around for quite a while but there are many ways/manufacturing techniques to make them, some better than others.
