welp...called RC Components.

yeah....they don't make my rotor hub with the bolt pattern I need anymore. I need the 9 bolt pattern, but they no longer make it - they switched to a 5 bolt pattern a while back. So now I have to buy a new rotor hub if I want to get new rotors/rings on it. Normally $370 a piece, but given my circumstances / them not making it anymore, they're selling them to me at $200 each.

good lord, nothing is easy lol.This will be the 4th set of rotors going on it with less than 30k on the wheel set up....which is unacceptable to me. I'm going to give this a go and see. If they warp yet again, the wheel is coming off and being sold and I'll find some 2016 stock take offs to put on it. 4th set of rotors (3 by previous owner) is unacceptable to me. never had warping on any bike that I've had, sportbikes or otherwise. I realize there's a lot more weight on the HD for them to stop during braking...but still.

So my front brake job has turned into a $630 brake job. 550 for new rotors (400 for hubs and 150 for the rings), 60 for pads and about 20 for brake fluid.

so, for anyone wanting to go with an aftermarket set up on their ride...be wary. shit is expensive when it needs to be replaced. Sure, it looks cool....but be prepared for sticker shock when it comes time for maintenance.
