Default New Lightweight Rotors

Anyone here have any experience with the new generation lightweight composite brake rotors now available for Harleys?

I am a bit familar with "weightless rotors", which are ceramic. Haven't heard anyone bitching about them, and would love to lighten up the Sporty with them, but baby needs a new pair of shoes. Seriously. She's growing like a weed!

I wish there had been a performance comparison with the stock brakes included. Weight is not so much of a concern on my bagger but a shorter stopping distance might be.

I am looking forward to reading about the rear brake install. Maybe there will be some comparisons there.
What models are these available for?

Probably all years and models except "2006 Dyna".
