HD has floating rotors in the catalog for most bikes.
I put chrome floaters on the front last year, putting a rear floater on this summer.

Absolutely worth it to me, the fixed chrome rotors I had on previously warped enough to bug me.

While I experienced no warp, I did get uneven pad wear with stock rotors. With the "classic" floating rotors, I don't any more...Worth it!

They do! See mine at #8 above, same style as sifularson's. Other styles are available.

I beg your pardon - you are quite right. Strange, as they do front rotors with -08 part number. I wonder what is different about the 08 rear hub? Hmmmm!

Yup, nothing for the rear of the new touring bikes, but I have them in the front of the Limited and front & rear on the 'Train. They're relatively inexpensive and make a big difference.

I got them with my HogPro wheels to match the front (stock rear rotor) and love them! Didnt expect to notice much but sure did!
