so can we gleen from this that your front brake is so deficient that it locked up and spit you over the bars? jeesh!
it's 2 seperate problems you're having issue with. pulsing lever is the result from either a warped rotor and/or defective rotor mounting hardware.
locking up the front wheel upon brake application has absolutely nothing to do with the rotor. it is the result from a defective master cylinder, defective caliper, 1 or more caliper pistons stuck in its respective bore, or collapsed brake hose. do NOT continue to ride it...only a buffoon would.

^^^^ yes they do jacob. any aftermarket lever added to a stock master cylinder that either hangs up in its perch....or lacks sufficient clearance between cylinder piston and lever engagement point will give catastrophic results.
