The disc on my '93 R80GS rattles. It's semi floating laterally, but the bobbins have worn and the disc now moves fore and aft as well.
Has anyone replaced the bobbins? And if so, from where and how?

Replaced the bobbins on a K1100LT a few years back. I'd guess the GS floaty disc is similar. Easy enough to do.

Got a Grimeca bobbin set from Motobins if I recall.

I can't help with the bobbins, but have you measured the disc thickness? When mine started rattling it was also well under the minimum thickness and a cast iron replacement was a worthwhile improvement.

And me. I just bought an EBC Pro-Lite replacement.
