    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Believe they are 5mm factory fresh.Min stamped on the rotor is 4.5.

            May wish to recheck the measurements again...the service manual on bikecliff say the service limit is 6MM or below. New should be 6.5 to 6.9 MM Did youn use calipers that read MMs? If not you need to take whatever the SAE measurement it is and multiply by 25.4 to get the MM sizes. IE.. .125 X 25.4= 3.17MM

              Check the E supplement,5mm with 4.5 service limit.the 6.9 and 6.5 are C rotor specs.

                OK...i didnt scroll down to the supplimentals...didnt mean to alarm you. I didnt remember them even looking like they had any wear when i shipped them..The limits are good news then.

                  I was not alarmed in the least.somewhere(might even be in this thread) there was discussion of twin vs single rotors.The twins are thinner.These rotors are pretty much no wear.

                        No,finally got the air cleaner element I ordered before the lockout.Haven't shipped much to Canada have you?It takes a little longer.

                          Yes i have sent you the rotors..remember? I dont recall it taking a full week though. Then again, as you said, probably a HUGE backlog to go thru as well at this point. Just let me know when it arrives and that your happy with it.. thanks.

                              OK here's an update.
                              As stated got my filter element

                              Did a little more painting to

                              Will let you know when I get any parts,OK?

                                I thought these where painted over.No just layers of chain crud.

                                Put these on to.
                                Was talking to my wife saying I was happy that I had no real choice.She said I do,just not going with them.If it was mine she said it would be purple with hot pink stripes.It's a good thing she is never getting a bike of her own IMHO.
