I need to replace my rear rotor is has grooves in it. since I am replacing the rear I figured I would replace the front as well. 

any suggest on the best places to buy this from or any upgrades besides the cast iron race brand.

I got stock replacement rotors new off ebay for $67 delivered.Yes,that price is for both,front and rear.I got front and rear EBC HH pads for $45 delivered.

nice. so they were stock Stainless steel then?

Don't install cast iron unless you plan on using it as a race bike.  cast iron will rust if you look at it, and they tend to warp more easily in the wet.

that is what I read in the race corner. I just want a SS replacement.

Yes.They were factory replacements.I still see them from time to time on ebay.Try searching ebay stores.Some times they won't show up in a motorcycle parts search.

I should add that 95 and older Katanas have the same rear wheel and rotor.Just make sure that the katana rotor is a four bolt rotor.

Ok i found a rear rotor on ebay for a newer gs but Im sure they are the same. as far as the front goes any ideas on just the blade for sale?

brand new these things are dan expensive

I found these though and I might just drop the doe for them.

I use ferodo brake pads and have been happy with them

I found a new font disk for $100 on ebay but it looks like it is for the newer models and has the black center instead of gold ,( I prefer the gold) how was the older gs500 front rotors made the gold color, doesnt look like paint.

i believe i have two rotors for the front along with some pads.

Those rotors are nice but to pricey for me.I've never used Ferodo pads.As far as the gold on the rotors.If it's not paint,I dunno what it is.My old rotor's gold appears to be flaking.

well if it is paint it was a damn good job from factory lol. I guess I could always get the center powder coated

That'll work and I've seen some guys on here use regular spray paint.They have good results.Cheaper too.

true.
