niche front rotors Q?

[Don R]

A previous owner was an extreme over-tightener. I'm guessing he put the rotors in a bind, I'm hoping he didn't also hurt the hub.

Bike rotors don't get turned
They get surface ground

A thought, I had no luck at getting parts stores to turn bike rotors. Tried a local machine shop and they fixed me right up. It's been several yrs. don't remember cost, but for sure was reasonable or I wouldn't have used them

Niche was one of the brands that recently came up when looking for economical replacement pads for my Tiger. I bought both front and rear sets. Neither set has the typical groove that lets you easily see wear depth remaining, so I only used the rears because I needed them to pass inspection. When my fronts are ready to go, I'll probably use them. They seem like decent quality. Would really like to have that wear groove though. I know you asked about rotors. Sorry I only wrote about my experience with the pads to say that the quality seems OK.

$148 for the pair seems cheap enough, but I wonder if you've priced any Japanese made rotors from a reputable dealer like Partzilla.
Never mind. A lookup or the left rotor 59221-45250 and right rotor 59211-45250 (there must be some difference) showed NA at partshark and partzilla.

Take your chances with the new Niche's or take your chances w/ a used OEM set found on ebay, which may be no better that the ones you've got. and all those will be 43 years old too.

Has anyone tried the Niche front replacement brake rotors? I'm sure they are made in China but my 81 GS1100e has a pulse when stopping, at least one rotor is warped, no one around here is interested in trying to turn them. The Ebay ad shows them fitting a wide variety of models and years, and that makes me a little suspicious. NICHE Front Rear Brake Rotor Set For Suzuki GN250 GS400 GS425 GS650M GS550M | eBay
