Source for new/used KZP rotors

Discovered last night the rotors off the '84 KZP resto are below spec. Don't really want to pay $250 plus (babbitt's) for a new set (there goes my powder coating money). The front wheel are unique to the late KZPs (except for maybe the KZ1300?), so I'm guessing the rotors are, too.

Aside from eBay, any suggestions for an alternate?

Check the auto dismantler sites. I used to have some bookmarked but I no longer have access to my other computer. Every bike you can think of has been wrecked by somebody, and they sell the parts out cheap.

Thanks, bountyhunter. I've used m/c junkyards before, but the big problem seems to be those unique wheels and rotors. When I got this bike from my brother a couple years ago, it had a severly bent front wheel. Took me awhile to find one, and when I did on eBay it cost $140+, IIRC. Too bad the wheel didn't come with rotors.
There are actually a couple decent yards less than two hours drive from here (chattanooga, tn), but they are...how shall I say....self service. You'd best know exactly what you need, wear your dirtiest shop clothes and take some hand cleaner/shop rags with you. Good deals to be had, though, and God Bless'em for the resources they provide.

Anyhoo, just this afternoon I found a set of KZP rotors from a junked '92 model on eBay. I've emailed the seller concerning the thickness, and hopefully the response will be good news.

If the rotors are really a pain, I've seen people here replace the whole front end to get new caliper and rotors.

Problem solved. The eBay seller came back with a +5mm measurement on the rotors, so I jumped on 'em. Should be here in a few days.
