Damn Brakes.
Genuine Yamaha brake discs $860.00 each.
After market brake discs $350 - $500 each, only problem is they are either 4 or 4.5mm. Original are 5mm. Should be able to compliance on most of these.
F1 engineering in Hamilton will make some for a bit over $400.00 each for 4mm, but would be more (not sure how much) for 5mm, and I loose the bike for 2 weeks. Incidentally indications are you should be able to get compliance on the ones from F1 engineering as he uses acceptable product and processes.
Ducati original equipment (supposedly the same disc) $475.00.
So I am looking for someone, around West Auckland preferably, whom has a Ducati of mid to late 90's vintage so I can measure up the front brake disc prior to ordering.
There are a heap of Ducati's which suposedly match so if anyone has one and wouldn't mind me taking a few measurements please PM let me know what you have.
