Any suggestions on where to get quality brake rotors from?

Im upgrading my lines to braided, will be putting new pads in, and thought I might upgrade the rotors too.

I realize that good brakes arent cheap, I spent nearly 10K upgrading the brakes on my car, and I love the brakes on that car.......

these are the go :wwww:

After some advice

My old man is looking for a touring style bike, not wanting to spend 25k on a Harley though

His eyes are on the Suzuki boulevards

Does anyone have any first hand info on these bikes or any other recommendations for a bike along those lines

He is 55, rider all his life, has three cb750 in the garage

Wants to some long rides with my mum on the back and after a bit of comfort

Appreciate any ideas or feedback

around 10k - 15k for used,not huge budget but like I said he has 3 Hondas and yz250 to keep the adrenaline going

More needs comfort for my mum on the back

What model BMW should he look at ?

Honestly - I'd look at a CBR1100XX and put a Corbin seat on it for mum (with backrest) and high rise kit (handle bars) for him - could even go an aftermarket bubble screen.

That thing would eat up the miles in comfort and fall well within budget.

Heaps of luggage options for them too (if that's their thing)

That and an intercom system and they'd be laughing.

Agree on the CBR1100XX. My mates uncle used to have one and they're so effortless to ride! Eat up the kms and are bullsh*t quick in a straight line! Super comfy too.

He can have my gsx1400 for less than that. Super comfy for pillion, retro style, awesome torque, heated grips, small screen. Great bike.

Yeah my mate just bought a gsx1400, very nice bike to ride and butt loads of grunt

The old man ended up buying a boulevard with only 4000 on the clock

Looks the part and comfy to ride

He laughed at me when I mentioned the cbr1100xx
