Newbie working on my first bike, 79 xs400, and looking at the discs, they're grooved (and mildly rusty) so I'm going to have to do something about that. The groves are quite visible, but they don't feel that bad and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to renovate them myself w/o paying to have them shaved. Is sanding stupid/dangerous? And can I use a regular ol' drill to drill holes in the discs? Maybe this is a really dumb question (sorry).
And regarding the pads: how do I know if they are worn out or not?
I'd like to go with totally new discs/calipers like some folks here (like Drewpy: Nice look btw!) but for my first build I want to keep the budget in check while I learn something about motorcycles.
thx in advance
