Exclamation Brake Rotors

I am going to chrome my fork lowers and was thinking about change out the front brake rotors
to Floating Rotors with Blake centers. Who makes good brake rotors?

I used Harleys floating rotors with the black inserts. Im sure there are a few others who make them and are just as good

Go see Howard, forum sponsor Motorcycle Metal;

He made my full floaters and they dropped several pounds over the stock rotors and look much better

Just don't get the ones with a chromed braking surface. If the chrome starts peeling it will be like a cheese grater to your brake pads.
