So I have an 84' kawasaki gpz 550 that Im working on getting it back on the road. A friend of mine helped me today to get the 2 tires off the bike(he took them back to his place to remove the tire from rim) and he said I should look into getting new brake discs. I looked up and found out they are about 100 a piece around. So I have been reading around and found many contradictory stories about resurfacing, some say that there should be absolutely no reason to have to replace brake rotors, others say they can't because they are made of stainless steel.
An ideal situation, I would just get new rotors but that is quite a bit to shell out on rotors. So can you just bring over the discs to a mechanic that resurfaces rotors and it'll be all fine and dandy?
Also, what is the effect of not doing anything to the rotors. When you run your finger perpendicular to direction of spin, you can feel groves within the rotors.
This bike only has 20,000 miles on it as well.
