Black rotors?
I’ve had one set of rotors replaced under warranty on my cvo sg, they are warped again and I’m not gonna put HD back on. I’m really liking the look of black rotors, any of you guys have any experience with black rotors? Does the black last on high quality rotors? Any pics you guys may have would be great also, thanks!

No 1st hand experience, but was told quality black rotors are black all the way thru unlike andodized that wear thru. At least that's what I was told when I inquired at my local indy. Was concerned about them wearing thru evenutally and having regular steel showing thru. Was also told there are different brake pads for them as semi's leave deposits in them and discolor the black.

I've been thinking about this too. The polished floating rotors on my 2020 RGL are the only thing of that finish. I really want black rotors.
Lyndall is what I'll be going with. They also have black ARP bolts too for mounting.

I will likely be going with these in the near future. We'll see...

Center mounts might be black but the rotors themselves ? ....

I shot Lyndall a message, before I drop a grand on rotors they will have to seriously convince me that they will stay black or either give a nice warranty

The only rotors that would be truly black and stay black after use would be rotors made from a ceramic material. "If" you could find them. And "if" you did find them, you better have a place close by to sit down and then hold onto your wallet because a $1k price tag wouldn't even begin to be close to their price point.
