The rear wheel has/had drum brakes, but Im putting on a ZX750 wheel thats coming with a drilled disc.im gonna change the cheese grater rotors on my 74 this summer its got a single rotor on front and rotor drilled the same on rear if you have a rear disc on yours.if you can hold off a little while ill trade you for some undrilled rotors if they look like theyll work for ya.they are in z1 gallery if you want to see what they look like.im going to drill another set so i need some blank rotors so i can put differant pattern in them.i also have a set ofdrilled ltd dual disc rotors let me know! goodluck,happy wrenching!
The drilled ltd dual discs would work great, and then you could have the blank one thats one there now to make your new pattern. Are the ltd discs factory drilled? PM me if you want to work something out:)

I just have the drill press, but I can sharpen bits either by hand (vise grips and a chop saw)or with a "drill doctor"A milling machine and rotary table certainly make the job easier, stainless steel is pretty tough to drill, keep your spindle speed low and use a lubricant (soluble oil) and hopefully your good at resharpening drill bits.

Stainless steel will work harden making following operations difficult if not impossible if the hole does not go through the brake disc.

Speaking of stainless... not sure these disks are stainless since they get surface rust on them when they are not used for a bit. They sure are hard though...

...What if I clamp or bolt them together and start drilling?....
Might also consider using spray paint through holes on drilled disc to create pattern on undrilled disc. Center-punch the paint dots and drill.
Good Luck!

Any of those you use will get hot and smelly, so a vent fan is recommended. The chips/curls created will be very sharp so wear eye protection.

also cutting grease is a must, saves on bits and blades, ive had the same pot for over 10 yrs, good investment.
