Need to replace my rotors, any recommendations on what I should buy? Most rotors I see range from around $150 to $200 online, I'm fine with that price range. Are the floating rotors are worth it on my old 2001 RK? Any suggestions on pads?

 

I’m happy with the HD floaters on mine. For pads, Lyndalls are good for the older Nissen brakes. On my Brembo’s I prefer to run stock pads.

 

I have a 2004 and went with some used HD floating rotors and was very happy with the smooth braking, I also run Lyndall pads.

 

Had floaters on my 01 King and they butter smoooooth! Now have an 03 electra without and can't wait to change over. Not smooth at all.

Just installed rear chrome floating rotor on my friend’s 04 Road King. They even come with new chrome rotor bolts. We paired the rear rotor with EBC pads.

I've also been happy with genuine H-D floaters, which as a small bonus come with a set of new screws. I currently have EBC all round, with their pads, having swapped over to Brembo calipers.

I just installed the vivid black floating rotors on my bike a few weeks ago. I had them on a CVO and really liked them. It was a difference of 20 bucks apiece over the regular ones

 

I like Russell Performance Stainless Steel Pro Polish brake rotor or True Floating rotor.

 

Good info, thanks for the help guys.
