With the British pound so low right now might be the time for a Motobins order...

Prices seem good. I'm assuming riders here have had a good experience with Motobins?

My discs are pretty scored, they still work well. If I ordered two Brembo rotors should I order BMW pads? Anything else I should replace as a matter of course? Seals. pins?

You guys order as much as you like from Motobins.

We need a boost to our economy right now :lol:

You guys just reminded me I wanted new handlebar switches for my R65, who knows how much longer they'll be available.

I already have so many spare parts for it (including rotors) that I seem to be stuck with it for life.

Another silver lining for the Brexit! Motobins is cheap!

British banking stocks are cheap too.

On one of my bikes I put two new rotors on and was really impressed with the stopping force. It's worth a try. Let us know what you experience.

So Motobins has OEM, Brembo, Grimeca rotors. Any thoughts to which would be best?

I have had good luck with the Grimecas on my 81 R100RT.
