OK, I need to replace the front rotor on my 2007 TBA.

I saw a thread about doing it here somewhere and noted the comments about the blue loctite on the disk bolts. My plan is to buy & use a simple propane torch to help melt the loctite, to make it easier to remove. However, will this darken or affect the appearance of the bolts at all ?

Also, with the new rotor installed, will it be necessary to re-balance the front wheel ?

I'm also looking for options for the rotor disk. I know I can get it from my dealer, but wondering what other options there are out there ?

What's the part number for the rotor disk ? I'm thinking maybe I can find one, via eBay, and avoid (hopefully) paying tax.

I've got the Haynes Manual as a guide, but I don't have the Triumph service manual chapter. If anyone can email that to me, I'd be much obliged.
