You do realize that different bikes and years have different rotors. Also different wheels have different rotor mounting,sizes, floating, semi floating and full floating. So, your question needs to be a little more pointed.

I bought two sets from random Amazon vendors thinking this will get me by (like only 100 a set) and after a couple years I surprisingly have had zero issues with them... figured they would be crap.
Your mileage may vary... just sayin. Mine were for the Enforcer wheels btw.

Harley sells nice polished rotors, but expensive. Russel also has rotors for older bikes nicely polished.

Of course I was asking a generic question.

I bought mine from Ebay 3-4 years again for less than $100, have never had an issue with them and they still look nice! Just make sure you use Organic pads with them.

I put a set of HD polished rotors on my 2009 FLHTCU because I got a heck of a deal on them

I replaced both front rotors and my rear rotor on my 07 FLH with the drag specialties branded rotors, no problems whatsoever

I was always told to use Organic pads with polished rotors because the others will scratch up the finish, thats what I've stuck with and they still look great.
