Very nice looking rotors.
Your tire appears to have too much air...

Are those galfers? I need new rotors again on the R1200ST.
The tire does look over inflated Bill.

Very fancy rotors. The right side body panel appears to be slightly misaligned - I advise :loosen the mounting screws, realign the panel and retighten the mounts.

Do not take too seriously

Actually, you don't need shims. You can use the bushings (?) from the R1150R; they are slightly taller as the stock discs of that bike are 5mm instead of the 4.5 of the S.

Fairbanks Alaska. I ride my KZ1300 to work at Alaska Fun Center (world's farthest north kawasaki shop) at 9 AM. It's 54 degrees F out. 1PM. It's down to 43F. 2 PM. It's 37 degrees, complete overecast and the barometer and thermometer is falling. 3 PM; It's 31 F and the large soft pretty white flakes (of snow, natch) are falling. 12 midnight; it's 20F and a 3-inch-per-hour whiteout is cooking. It didn't quit snowing till the next april; record snowfall that year. Great snowmachining, a sure cure for all this frakking civilization and I miss it so sometimes. I know ya can't go back but it was a real trip while it lasted...

Nice plate.
I spent two years working for Tundra Copters out of Fairbanks. I've been up and down the same roads. I miss the Northern Lights, I don't miss the ice fog.

ICE FOG!!
 Only once in my life have I dealt with something like that. 'twas way up new york state near the canadian border. Drove into a fog bank at dusk and the fog froze onto my faceshield!!!! So I lifted the shield and the fog froze onto my eyeglasses!!!!! Then I got sideways on the bike(my old Kawi triple) slid to the side of the rode and dumped it on the soft shoulder. Jeez that sucked.

Up date . Y pipe is on , had to wait for the new clutch cable to show up and install it first. The rear wave rotor is on back order for now.
 Making a mount for the wire loop that holds the rear brake line away from the tire , that should be done tonight. Pulled the gas charcoal canister off and it looks better that way. Will be shopping for rear turn signal next
