A 'Hello' from a Newbie!

Hi Folks,
Just happened on a link to this site.... Looks pretty smart
I have a '96 Skorpion Tour.....It was in a bit of a state when I acquired it.
I love the way it rides & the big softy of an engine. As I am vertically challenged I put in longer dog bones on the rear suspension to sit the bike a little lower. It helped a lot.
It is my knockabout bike but I would like to refine & improve it.
As you probably guessed, I do have a problem I would like some input on.
One of the problems I had when I got it, was that the front brake caliper was seized on the two inner pots. I freed them off OK, but the damage was already done... The disc has been pushed over.....Dished, if you like...I priced up a replacement from the UK importer...Comes in at over £90 + VAT + P+P
Please does anyone know of discs from other bikes that fit...or any other info (part nos. sources etc) on compatible replacements...Brembo or whatever?
TIA
Nige.
