Floating Rotors

Looking to buy some floating rotors but I don't need to spend a million bucks... Any suggestions??

When the OEM rotors warped, I installed the HD Vivid Black Floating Brake Rotors on my 2008 SG and am very happy with them. The online price was about $240 delivered to the door.

Did the same on my 06 and don't remember the cost. I've been very happy with them.

I didnt like the HD models for my bike so I went with EBC rotors & they came with new screws. They are very well made & so far are noiseless ( some floaters click when the brakes are applied). Retail is about $300.00 a set.

I ended up not buying the EBC Extreme pads because my Lyndall Gold pads were barely 1/2 used. I didnt buy the rear floating rotor because I dont use the rear brake that much. No sense in spending money if its not needed.
