Why? I've got some laying around somewhere, I could try to find them. You can have them if you pay for the shipping, ah if I can find them that is.

Hey superhawk22. Thanx man. I really need those, I am sick and tired of dealing with the pulsation comin from the brakes. The rotors seem straight but not totally sure on this one. Hey by the way do you have any spare stock rotors? I need one for the left side. I will be willing to buy that from ya. For the brake pads please send em my way and I will pay for shipping.

I sold 2 sets just a few months ago sorry. I think Loco could help you out with that though. Have you tried a racing shop or machine shop to get them straight?

I tried a machine shop and i think they banged too much on them and they could only get them to 30 thousands. They look straight and I thought that would solve the problem. The pulsation got better but the left side is still draggin on the rotors and don't know why.
I sent Loco an email. I hope he gets back to me. Let me know about the stock pads dude. I appreciate your help. Thanx

I'll try to get them out to you today in the smallest box possible so it's as cheap as possible.

Hey AZZKIKER keep us posted on your results... I have a simular problem with pulsing that started after I changed the pads and fluid. Its only noticeable when slowing quickly from 70 mph or more. Thanks

Everybike I've ever had with dual front brakes has had the left-most pad wear out first. I thought it was normal...

My prices may be out of your price range on this one. Rotors are high dollar items, and I can only go so low for those, even at friend prices.

Re: Anyone wanna throw away some old brake pads???

I have the same thing happen when I brake, it doesn't matter if I am breakin slow and easy, or hard n fast...I have the pulse....and a scratching sound on the pulsation, if that makes sense.....I don't know which side up front, or if it is both....maybe I should replace the pads?? since I am the 3rd owner, and don't know when or if they have been replaced....
