Hey guys, back after a long absence. I'm fiddling with the TZR again and I need new front rotors as I'm having terrible brake pulsation.
A general search on the forum turned up older posts about replacement rotors. Useful information with the 282mm outside diameter and 3mm thickness though. Are there any new developments or resources for replacements? Either complete rotor or just the steel portion with replacement bobbins? I'm concerned with some of the cheap stuff listed...are they safe?

Lots of new rotors are the "wave" style with a wavy outer edge - instead of a traditional smooth circular outer edge.
Looks fine on a current sport bike, but kinda odd on anything older.
