EBC Pro-Lite rotor.

I'm searching for something cheaper, or a place to get it cheaper right now though...

Check the For-Sale forum or the e-bay for a used one. Any brake or machine shop could resurface a stock one it if it's not too badly out of spec.

they dont do floater type rotors very often as there isnt a reliable way to keep the rotor from shifting on the spools AND no way to resurface any warpage out of them. the solid rotor's like the rear they will do all day long

I asked really nicely on the board and got one that was much newer than the one that had been on my bike. People here rock!!!

Do you want an OEM one or a pattern part. The link takes you to a supplier in the UK who can offer a quality pattern item for £100.....thats about $175 but you will have to add delivery charges. There must be someone in the US who can supply a similar thing.......have you tried a web-search??
