Rear brake rotor

Almost time to replace the rear rotor on my 99 Interstate. Several used ones available on eBay,  etc, but it's hard to tell exactly what shape they're in just from the photos...even if they list the thickness. Thinking  I might as well go new (unless anyone has a good one to sell :))  Anyone know of a decent aftermarket rotor that will fit a 1J  wheel, that's  less expensive than going through Honda?
Also, can the existing bolts be re-used? I thought I read a discussion previously debating yes and no.

Thx.

Sometimes, like with Pinwall, they list the mileage on the bike.

I've been running a real cheap pinwall rear rotor on my 97 that
came from a low mileage Pinwall bike, I'm real happy...

I replaced mine because it had developed a "lip" around the edge,
I guess that is the normal wear pattern? I could tell from the
pictures of the one I bought that it had no discernible  lip...

Honda says to replace the bolts. That's because they apply a thread locker which activates as it's torqued. Clean the old bolts and use Locktite medium and torque it properly.

I'm assuming you put that 1J wheel and rotor on at some point in the past.

Good catch  :cooldude: I think you need the 2j style rotor Mike. (With the countersunk bolts)
