New front brake for 74 CB550
« on: August 24, 2006, 11:18:56 PM »
I plan on working on my front brake pretty soon. I have some new pads, but what about the rotor? Are new rotors available? Can I turn my current rotor? (Staying within wear limits of course.) Do I even need to worry about it, and just throw on the new pads?

Thanks

NEVER had to replace one of the stainless rotors (except due to accident damage)
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
