Just checked the cyclebrakes.com site, man those Galfer Wave rotor's would look the part.

Arent they allimuniniumumumumum? as apposed to steel?

That would mean they would be more prone to heat and warping and wear wouldnt it? I'm not a wizz someone may know.

This is from da Cyclebrakes site.

Laser cut (not stamped) to assure no stress to the material
Made of a unique high carbon content steel (420ss) for higher friction
Pre-heat treated so that the rotor is less likely to warp
Double, parallel disc grinded and diamond finished for perfect flatness

Your right......You aint a wizz

where is hitcher when most needed? :lol:

Sorry must be another kit - was reading about it on some dirty american site, think they were petal race disks, which makes no sense maybe a ally compound mix with something, because ally wouldnt be good at all I think?:yes:

Of course you could just get some made in NZ cheaper, dont have to be a wiz to figure that out ;)
Might have to send the disks to fgb so they get the pattern matched but they have a 5 day turn around.

I can get you fgb's number if you want.

[Matt Bleck]

I've got Grahams number, I'll give him a bell for a price, I dunno about them thou, what I mean is they don't really have experience in brakes. How long has he and his Dad been doin disks for? Has any one tryed a set of Graham's Disks.? :mellow: I just don't wanna get stung :no:

I know one of my mates had a pair on and he had no complants, although his bike didnt last long wasnt the brakes fault, just lowsiding at speed :lol:

I think they offer a 3 month full warrenty or more? I think they are doing fairly well for themselves at the moment, I dont know if any one has had any problems with them, I havnt heard any bad stories myself, good luck either way.

Mate has some on his RSVR Aprilia & say's they are Mint I think they have a 1 year warranty . Mate had a guy that races a Aprilia at Wanganui try his bike at a Hill climb & he said that they were better than on his race bike . So worth a try I say .PS they look excellent as well

I bought mine a few years ago when the exchange rate was poo.

It was about USD$400 for the discs, $70 for the pads and $30 for shipping or so.

[Matt Bleck]

Got price from Power, $500 each! Seems it would be cheaper to get them from cyclebrakes.com.

[scroter]

mate has had ongoing problems for over a year with FGB discs including 2 replacements under warranty and one refund, hes got brembos now at about 1/2 the cost of OE and he reckons there sweet.

Kawasaki used plasma sprayed aluminium disks on the KR750 road racers (the watercooled triples) way back in the '70s.

You want REALLY trick disks - beryllium as used on certain USAF planes (Starlifter is one of them IIRC) super light, but they shed a rather toxic dust.
Honda investigated using beryllium (for weight reasons) but instead went to carbon, which are good, but only work when they're really hot.

Do you know how they preformed (plasma ali disks on the kawas)? (sadly I'm not up with that time, its interesting though)

good insight you!
