My newly acquired 99 K12LT would seem to need new rotors. I've looked through the FAQ/ Hall of wisdom and did a search, but did not see the info I'm looking for.
I have the infamous rattle /clunk when applying the front brakes and feel pulsing in the lever, so I think it's beyond the 'ignore it' stage. I took the front rotors apart to find visible wear on the button " roll pin?" and the rotor slots. Pricing replacements, the EBC looks much more attractive than OEM.

So , my questions: Have the EBC's been working out on my year bike ( standard ABS) and do the EBC rotors come with the buttons or similar or will I need to get new ones from BMW?

Thanks for any advice.

Edit for typos :rolleyes:

If you think you need new rotors go to ebay someone is parting out a 2003 LT I bought the rear rotor. He claims it has 1050 miles on the bike. It could be true. the rear rotor looks like new. I bought it for 111 dollars.
