Black brake rotors?

I remember seeing them somewhere but now I cant find them. So if anyone has a link for me that would be great.

2 more questions
1. What pads would you guys recommend? (possible link)
2. And what brake fluid should I use? Im planning on bleeding the whole system out and putting new stuff in

Never seen an all black rotor! Some have the "hat painted black! Any dot 3-4 fluid will be fine! Dont use dot 5 unless you do a COMPLETE fluid flush!
Pads can vary by opinion!
Good luck

Be careful with all ceramic or higher performance pads. If you do not "drive it like you stole it" 80% of the time, pad material will build up unevenly on the rotor and can shake like it is warped and needs to be turned.

I went through this experience the hard way and turned my rotors twice before figuring out what was really going on.

Here is an interesting article talking about it further.

^ i just read that (good read), my motorcycle has that feel when i'm coming to a stop (on off on off). even with new pads, i use the brakes hard (hard braking well over 100mph) and if you look at the rotors they look slightly warped. i bought the bike brand new over 4 years ago and now have 40k miles on it (2006 ninja 636), it started happening around 25k-30k miles and it was about time to change pads (again) so i bought some new OEM pads and it seemed to help for awhile then it came back. it only does it when im coming to a stop 30mph and less, also it's a 4 piston caliper if that helps.

also i've always used OEM pads, only once did i use double H pads and i hated them. sorry to thread jack

i have stainless steel lines (now). i know the zx14 are bigger (buddy has them on his stunt bike), what is the difference with the 07-09 zx6r?

thanks
