Remember that you will need 750 rotors. I think they are the same but not 100% sure dude.

O.o damm i didnt know they could be 'unwarped'
wouldnt that just make it structurally weaker?
cant be that much more for a new rotor can it?

I had Bob
engineering in melbourne do both of mine for about $70 and they were perfect. As far as I know, you can use all gsxr 600 / 750 rotor's from 96 to 03,/ 1000 rotors up to 02 and all Busa and TL one's as well but dont quote me on it.
gixxsexR, new rotor's were about $500 each when i was looking a couple of years back.....

Word is the Bob
's isn't real flash since Bob died...
He straightened one of my discs up a treat when I left my disc lock on. Got full life from it. So they
are repairable.
