Time for me to sell my Interstate, however to pass the safety check I need new front rotors
(they measure 3.88mm, just under the 4mm minimum)
Looking through the forum, many people seem move to the GL1800 front rotors (posts from many years ago)
DISK, R. FR. BRAKE 45120-MCA-003
DISK, L. FR. BRAKE 45220-MCA-003
Are forum members still using these as the replacement of choice?
Are there trustworthy aftermarket rotors?
(I need to make a decision today)

Thanks for the reply, yes expensive
It seems the EBC is the way I might go, about $350 CAD each
Because the original rotor is contoured, I assume I need
EBC XC-Series Contour Brake Rotor part # MD1014XC
Unsure why they show the same part for left & right, whereas Honda has a different part number for left & right

Both are the same and fit valkyrie.
Front VRF800 rotors
Front CBR600F4 rotors
low wear CBR600F4 rotors can be found on ebay usually for 100. I've been using these for over 40k miles.
don't get CBR600Fi, they don't fit.

Im using the Italian "Braking" brand for the rear 4 years now. Great experience.
I'd take the offer above instanty if I would need them.
Braking is the Budget Brand made by Brembo.
Just saying.
