Hey guys, I was holding off on the set of front rotors that were warped on my cb because they cost so much... been keeping my eye open and found a seller on ebay selling the pair of our rotors for 145$. For the price I ordered them and they came in. Look identical to ours, apparently they're 420 steel on the outer ring and aluminum on the inner according to their specs they're oem. I just messaged the seller to see what kind of pads they suggest. Figured someone else on here might need a good deal on rotors so here ya go.

Tried to post pictures but it wont allow me to upload them due to file size of the screenshot?
Much appreciated, I know I've asked about the photos before just haven't figured out how to downsize mine

So, you bought brake rotors from China?

That's not accurate. CB1100 rotors are actually made in Japan, as are those on Goldwings, CBR1000RR and CBR600RR and a few others. These "premium" bikes are primarily Japanese content.
While China still supplies many parts, and manufactures some of the sub-150cc bikes and scooters, it is no longer as advantageous as before.
Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam are the new China.
Honda his shifted parts manufacturing and bike assembly to their own plants in Thailand now, where labor is cheaper, and the line of communications is better. The CBR300R and CB300F, and the 500 and 650 series are made in Thailand, while the CB300R is made in Indonesia.

mvk24, pictures uploaded to the site for storage can be no larger than 250kb, so, generally, you have to find some way to reduce the size of nearly all photos.
You may find it easier to download Tapatalk for browsing the forum and upload pictures through it as it manages file size problems by storing the photos itself.

Looks like I stand corrected, appreciate the insight! I know a large amount of Harley parts are being made in mexico for quite a few years now also.
