Ahhhh.

Got myself some warped disks Mad

Not touched the bike since Oct, and probably wont see it again until Feb/Mar, but could feel slight juddering nearing the end of sticking the bike off the road. Got it on the paddock stand and had a look.Yep, one of the front disks is warped, so looks like a new set.

Looking for disks for a 2001 Blade. Where's good online to try and what would you get, EBC, Brembo....?

Sure they are really warped or is there a load of alloy corrosion packed up under where the carrier bolts on to the wheel? Maybe worth whipping it off and giving the wheel a bit of a scrape with an old screwdriver before you shell out for new ones? You can get an astounding amount of white powdery shit building up there.

Take it off, clean it up, rest it on glass or make do with a spirit level and a bit of ingenuity. You should be able to see for sure whether it is warped or not like that.
