Go on HD website and under parts and accessories type in floating rotors. Any of them that say fits 08 and later will work. Various choices.

I too have the Lyndall rotors. I replaced the stock 28rim and took off over 12lbs of unsprung weight.

From my vantage point, these don't appear to be floating rotors. Floating rotors are primarily used for their ability to manage heat better than fixed rotors. They do look nice though.
