    Hi guys,
    picked up some used chrome brake rotors

    one is 29.2cm in diameter and the other is about 29.9cm

    will these fit my 05' softail ?

    Have you measured what's on your bike?

    are you sure they are Chrome & not polished stainless steel?
    like has been said is outside diam same as you have?
    hope they have holes or slots in surface, as if none and get caught in rain, you would find brakes don't work too well.

    So you have 11.5 and 11.8 inch rotors.  I went from 11.5 to 11.8 on one of my bikes 
    But I run a after market Brembo caliper not a Oem one  on a evo softail 
     You need to measure what your clearances you have before you try it. Than fit the 11.8 
    And  recheck what clearance you have  , you maybe lucky like I was and just be able 
    To swap them over   If you can see the top edge of the pad before and after  to comper
    As a reference  ?  You may have to get the caliper machined for a bit of clearance  or
    Fit a after market caliper good luck
