Check your steering head bearings are not worn, they're prone to it.

put

money on the disc being warped if the brakes are pulsing. As a very rough check you could put a ruler or similar up against the disc, clamp the other end tightly to the fork leg and spin the wheel looking for any undulations between the end of the ruler and the face of the disc. Even minor differences will be felt as a pulse when braking.

there's a few options at motorworks

I'd probably fit a oem disc as the ebc looks crap to me, the other option is to give them a ring, they may have a used disc in stock.
