A few months back there was a member here that offered rotor surface. He would drill out the rivets, lighten the rotors by making them thinner, drill them and put them back together with bolts.


Anybody have a link?

YES! Things are good with TAO so I am back to work on the K4. I missed way to many rides last season because of that bike. Not this year!

Godffrey! Great rotors. Most of the time he has them in stock. You exchange yours and he literally hands you one to be put on. Oh wait I'm sorry! I live near him. That's been my experience:). You may have to wait for shipping. Great worksmanship and product.
