Default warped rotors

I have a 06 street rod with 16000 miles on it and the dealer has replaced the rotors once already does anyone know if there is any other rotors that will fit it other than the factory rotors. It only takes a few weeks riding before the front rotors warp after a new set is installed. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem also??

its not the rotors, its defective wheels... they will keep warping until the wheel is replaced under warranty.... check with 1130cc.com and they have been all over this... the mounting pads on the wheels are wrong, even though the runout is ok on the wheel... been there, done that.. my R bike gave me fits with all the flaws...

thanks for the info but the bad thing for me is the bike is out of warranty cause I bought it when they first come to the showroom
Guess I have an excuse to buy some chrome wheels now
