Well I fell off the face of the earth on this topic!
I found a set of '82 vented rotors on Ebay last spring (cheap) and they were nice and straight. Put them on with new gasket material between them and the wheel and boy did that make all of the difference in the world!
(Now I do not feel like I am getting my teeth worked on when I pull the front brakes! :smilie_happy: )
The kevlar pads broke in reeeeeeal nice and the bike stops on a dime! I still have not rebuilt the front MC since it worked well! (I do have the kit and will be doing it this winter). I am still running the '81 single piston caliper on the rear because...well....it still works and I decided to go riding instead of rebuilding the '82 rear calipers (they are also on the winter list :mrgreen: )
