I'm refurbing a '99 X1 and was going to replace the rotors. These aren't bad but wanted to make sure it was a clean build so to speak. After looking at the prices for a pair of rotors (front and back) I'm beginning to wonder if I would be better off going to a newer brake system. Suggestions? |

Meh- Your bike, your choice. A quick check at American Sport Bike shows about $350ish low end, $450ish high end with scalloped rotors. If you go with a different brake system, after rotors/calipers/pads, ect, ect, how much would be spent? How well would your current rotors do after some quality time with some Scotchbrite pads and scrub brushes? Hope this helps, Dave |

well, I'm doing the refurb to sell the bike. If I were keeping it the rotors would be perfectly fine for me. I would break the glaze on them though for the new pads. |

If you are doing the refurb to sell the bike, it is more advisable to go for a new pair of rotors than a completely new brake system. |
