tried the wreckers' yards?
if you get some from there, find the flattest table you can and put them face down and check like hell that they aren't warped before you part with your hard earned.. else, tried Oz and over seas?

[bros400]

Problem is that the old Bros isnt a very commen bike in nz. never sold new only a jap import.

Yeah, try the wreckers. There may well be another Honda disk that will fit, and a decent wrecker should know that.
Alternatively, there are aftermarket disks available; I recall seeing some at Cycletreads last time I was there that were quite reasonably priced.
Then there's that place in Waihi - FGB? or summat.

Mr Honda uses the same parts in many bikes, so a comparison may turn up another bike with the same disk.

What's that guys number from Waihi? Do a search or PM me and I'll dig it up later.
QUite reasonable price from memory... still not cheap though

[DragonflyDH90]

Check Trademe, the guy from Waihi advertises on there.
He has a good range and could probably manufacture using your origianal as a template. Have a look, get in touch and Im sure he'll sort things out for you.

Ring Econohonda or email them. There are heaps of diks common to different mdels in the Honda range.

if you want overseas stuff, try www.davidsilverspares.co.uk as a last resort - they are very expensive on postage, but should have what you want

[cowpoos]

PM ducatilover....he has a bros 650 wreck....

[bros400]

does anybody have a phone number for this Freddy's Discs's guy, also has anybody used any of his disks what were your impreshons??

Thanks Daniel

[curious george]

I last had him at 021 616 245. Graham Cornes was the name.
The rear disc I have seems fine. No grizzles with quality, easy guy to deal with.
He seems to favour stainless, but iirc could do some iron too. Best to ask yourself though

[Matt Bleck]

I've not long replaced mine cause of a warped disk. Got a set of Galfer Wave rotors. Cost $1100 NZ fitted. Best thing I've done to my bike so far!!
Initial grab is great but there is NO fade, the more you pull on the lever the better they pull up!

Got them from www.cyclebrakes.com (http://www.cyclebrakes.com/html/galfer_brake_rotors.html)

He advertises in Bike Rider magazine - I've got the ad sitting in front of me - that number is correct (as of the october/november issue), and his email is powermotorcycles@hotmail.com.

[bros400]

Pads Front EBC Sintered

Pads Front EBC Standard (seem to be made of kevlar)

[Ixion]

The number I have for him , and on which I phoned hime a few months back is 021 616 295

Try that

[curious george]

Whoops! Did I type ...245? I did mean ...295.
Well spotted Ixion.
You might also ask him what sort of stainless he's using. Martensitic or austenitic.
Austenitic (http://www.stainless-steel-world.net/basicfacts/what_austenitic.asp) or martensitic (http://www.stainless-steel-world.net/basicfacts/what_martensitic.asp)
Then match the pads.

[nudemetalz]

I receive my new front discs from Graham for my ZX-10 tomorrow. I'll let you know what they're like.

[Smorg]

Yeah i just bought a set of front and rear pads and rotors off the waihi guy for $600. Just bedding them in at the moment but after only 50k they are grabbing really well. PM me if you need his details as i last spoke to him only 3 days ago.

[Smorg]

AND WHATEVER YOU DO DONT GO TO SPENCE @ ATOMIC WRECKERS........
he quoted me $900 bucks for front and rear rotors without pads....:bash:
