What would you recommend for rotors and pads that won't break the bank? Also some sites prompt me for abs and non abs models for my 87 k100rt. Not sure how to tell.
-
You would have monstrously large modulators on either side of the rear footpeg plates with the letter "ABS" emblazoned on them. If you don't have these, you have non-abs brakes.

Not sure if I need rotors yet, there isn't any grooves ground into them or warping. Just seeing what my options are. I'll look into those pads you listed
-
Stamped on the rotor will be the minimum safe thickness. Only way to know is to measure it with a micrometer.
I purchased a new rear rotor from BeemerBoneyard.

Rotors cost more than I can justify for the old girl. I'm gonna wear them down 'till the pads touch each other.

Too true from what I've seen. I'm going to give those pads Johnny suggested a try. :2thumbup:

The rotors are just as much a "consumable" component as the rotor bobins, pads, and clutch. They do wear to the point that they will need replaced. The more miles you have, city stop and go traffic, or mountain roads, the more likely they will need replaced sooner than later.
I put a set of used rotors on the front @105K miles and a new one on the rear of my '95 at 108K miles.
Some bike breakers will sell rotors separate from the wheels, some don't.

These look like they might still have some like left in them. Could probably get them cheap :yes

I read that thread a few days ago. Damn near cried. That's what happened to my old 240SX.
