I drilled all 3 rotors on my "F" and used the same 5/16" cobalt bit ($4) without having to sharpen it. I did use an old $15 quart of Dura-lube as cutting fluid though.

Drilling the rotors without a drill press is going to be very tough sledding.... as Ray said, these things are hard metal.
Whether or not if you need the expensive colbalt bits, well, I drilled mine with a cheepo HF tin-coated bit (in a press) and the one bit was still fine at the end. I don't think a plain HS steel bit would do it though... Admittedly, I only did about 30 holes per disc, but did use plenty of cutting fluid; it was a pretty stinky, smokey job...

Hey Lee! I noticed tonight that you are also now at Do The Ton! That is a great site. I am over there under my former xs11 name t71ford. See you around!Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me.

I think they've brought in those laws in an attempt to get the older bikes off the roads over here. To sell a registered bike over here, you're required to get a roadworthy certificate so when you buy your $500 bargain and go the register it, the dude walks straight over to it with a pair of verniers to measure the brake discs. Takes the fun out of it if you have to fork out big dollars for new discs when you were just looking for a cheap mode of transport.
A friend of mine had moved up to Queensland from interstate, and had to re-register his bike up here, which naturally required the inevitable roadworthy. His mint Z1300 with 40,000 klms on it was failed for a worn rear disc. Price for a genuine Kawasaki disc was a shade over $800, and that's just for a plain undrilled / slotted disc! He managed to source an aftermarket copy for around $250 but that's the kind of thing we have to deal with over here.79 SF Special W/ Stock all original motor @ 384,000klms

Well I did one pattern today and as I was setting out the degrees for it all I noticed it was going to end up being 54 holes, kept going just in case I liked it. So I have a 54 hole pattern set up of anyone wants it. I could scan it in quarters so you could just reassembled it yourself.Nathan
