Anyone local you could just swap wheels with for a test? Too far away for me I'm afraid

If you use these to replace the rivetted OEM items and get your disc rotors bead or grit blasted, I reckon your problems would disappear.
I'm contemplating buying your rotors and trying to transfer onto mine with new bobbins..

It's probably the most cost-effective way to get virtually new full-floating discs...

<edit> Just found these bobbin kits - look about right and not too pricey:

I've been reading on the Blackshadow site about how important it is to ensure the new discs are fitted completely flat to the wheel without even a spec of dust to knock them out of true and have them checked with a dial guage. Did you? :)

Edit - and can you use the standard bolts?

Edit 2 - I think I found the problem.. after finally getting the discs off I measured the thickness at 6 equidistant points. The left hand disc was 4.85mm-4.89mm (0.04mm variance) and the right 4.82mm-4.89mm (0.07mm variance). I think that is too much.

No I didn't, I was getting bearings renewed in my OZs so I let the place where I get my bike serviced fit them. All good though, much better than my original discs which were probably much like yours.

They did use the standard bolts, although I bought new ones as I was still riding round on the bike so couldn't exactly remove them :)
