When you getting new pads Dale?

all sorts to choose from...my Hawk HPS street pads have about 1/2 the dusting or less of the sti pads and better stopping power even when they get hot (going down Pali, LikeLike or H3 all the time)...there are lots of good ones out there to meet everyone's needs...

I've always heard the term for trueing up rotors and ensuring that the surfaces of the rotor are flat as "Turning the Rotors"...makes sense...they put it in a lathe and turn it...all the shops I visited seem to know what I was talking about...must be a regional thing though because I've never heard it called "cut" either...but then again, I knew what you meant...as I am sure you knew what was meant by "Turn Rotors"
