Default ABS Free Float Rotors?

Having difficulties locating ABS Free Float Rotors, do they even make them? Friend is looking to upgrade and even wants chrome... 2011 Road King, front rotors.

The stock ones has a little sensor sanwhiched in the rotor and are lined up opposite each other from the other rotor. I think it could be like a magnet that interrupts the signal. I don't know this for sure and no dealer I've asked has a clue or can answer the question!

That is because the rotors have nothing to do with ABS.
That revert or button your refer to has nothing to do with ABS
Just get your free floating rotors and ride.
You clearly have not talked to a dealer other wise they would have laid a set of rotors on the counter for you in minutes.

Rotors are the same with the exception of the way that they mount on the newer CVO's. The bolt pattern diameter is different on those Agitator wheels that come on the CVO's. ABS has nothing to do with the rotors. It operates off an abs pickup on the left side of the wheel and the abs bearing.
