Umm i think the single disc bandit has different to the twin disc b12

Nope...  The little single disc B4 uses the left side from the big, twin disc B12.  FWIW, the GS500 uses the right side.

Actually, these guys have been very good with me, and go out of their way to take care of me. They were more than ready to acknowledge the phuck-up and make good on it. People are human, and shit happens. It was a particularly busy day at the shop that day when they did the brake job.

In as much as they were ready to get a new rotor, they happen to still have my old B4's front rotor from my original wheel which I had replaced. It was in better shape actually than the rotor I had on (before it got ground), with about ~15k less miles on it, and no rust on the gold area. So on that rotor went, with yet another new set of pads, and I rode off into the sunset.

Always ready to be corrected but i thought the single disc b4 had a larger single disc. than the pair on the import b4 but obviously i am misinformed.

you're correct, the single disc b4 has a 310mm disc, the twin disc b4 has 290mm discs.
the b12 and rf900 and some other bikes have the same 310mm discs as the single disc b4, just they have a pair of them.
