Why not just contact Zanotti's and purchase on-line?

How long do polished rotors stay looking good? Is there any maintenance required?
Thanks

I polished mine myself. The polished rotors on my Fatboy looked great after 3 1/2 years.

If your HD doesn't do his sale this year, got one here (south central Indiana) that is doing 20 percent off on parts and labor for over $1500 for the next 3 months (15 percent over $1000). My bike is in the shop right now getting chrome forks and chrome wheels.

What wheels did you get?? I am looking at the Chisels or the Chrome Knuckles.

Oh I am going to polish my rotors myself.

I would the chrome cow bells too. Apparently they look a little yellow next to the chrome lowers. I had mine changed out recently and they look good. I went with the chrome floating rotor with the mirror chrome agitator rim
I looks real nice

I was torn between the Chisels and the Anarchy. I went with the Anarchy. Also getting polished rotors, but the ones that go with the Anarchy wheels are open in the center so you see more of the wheel.
