Default Polished rotors
I want to put polished Rotors on my 2008 ABS Street Glide.&nbsp\\; Dealer tells me part number 41830-05 and 41831-05 wont work on my bike as the 2008 Street Glide has a heat expansion rivet in it that the polished rotors don't have.&nbsp\\; Can I get you thought and opinions on this?

Just take off your existing rotors and get them polished. It's also cheaper that way.

I would like to know why someone would spend $79 to polish a rotor when the rotors are heavy and not true floaters.

You could upgrade to real floating 300 mm rotors with Aluminum carriers (your color) with real butons &amp\\; springs.

When ya buy them for your 08 make sure they are in fact for your 08.They should be about an inch bigger in diameter than pre 08 rotors.
