#1 | Any front rotor recommendations? datum

BMW says the front rotors on my 2016 R12RS almost need to be replaced: 36,500 miles, so maybe? I have been noticing the engagement point on the lever is a lot farther than on my S1000R, and I have bled the brakes repeatedly. New pads too. So it made sense to me, but I'll listen to advice.

So new OEMs are $385 each (!). Has anyone tried any Galfer, EBC or any other aftermarkets out there?

And I'm told I need new bolts, but do the OEM bolts fit the aftermarket rotors?
