Haha made you look! 
No girls here just a new set of brake discs! Cost me bloody $935 
for the set of three, but at least they're pretty!! 
They are ABM german rotors, from austreetfighter.com.au, Stuart up there is real cool, good service and good prices. Standard discs from the bike shops were asking $700-$800 front and $200 rear, Stu had a sale on these for $690 front and $235 rear so I thought what the hell
. Anyone in Oz or east coast at least should check the site out, highly recommended.
Also, something to look out for, my Braking rotors were about to fall off, thats why I changed them. The floater buttons started moving back and forth, wearing away the aluminium carrier! You can see in the picture where my fingers are there is a bright semi-circle around the buttons, that is fresh worn away metal!
The other thing I noticed was the weight, I didn't think there could be too much difference so I checked. The Braking discs were 1280 grams per side, the ABMs are 1050 per side, a whopping 660g less unsprung weight! The rear is 800 compared to the standard 1020. The front is actually noticable in that the suspension seems too move more freely and quickly, its actually a little harsh now so I'll have to play with adjustments again.
