Does the front wheel need the brake rotor attached to be properly balanced?

I recently crashed my bike and did some extensive damage (I plan on making a separate thread with pictures soon). I've already received all the replacement parts and have begun rebuilding.

I bought a new front wheel and tire, and I need to bring it to a shop for mounting and balancing. Obviously, I won't be riding the bike there, just bringing them the parts.

Do I give it to them with the rotor attached? Will it screw up the balance if I bolt on the rotor afterwards?

If you are in doubt, assemble the rotor to the wheel for balancing, I would. Actually there are different types of balancing, some machines will tell the radial location and which side to put a weight on. Not sure if this applies to motorcycle wheel balancers.
since the brake rotor will be rotating with the wheel as one unit, you should have it on the wheel for balancing.

Yes I agree would be better to balance everything togeather
