    Who's dealt with F1 engineering???

    Hey everyone,

    Ive just found out the discs i bought for my 600 are warped Im taking them to F1 engineering for them to check out the disks...

    Have not used any rotos form him, but he has made clip ons fo me. Bloody good!
    Plus he is bloody fast on the race track, so they cant be too bad.
    If they dont work out, use Power M/Cylces in Waihi.
    Motorcycing is not a hobby, It is a way of life!

    I have dealt with them before, never about brake discs, found them to be very good. What exactly do you want them to check for you? If you just want to get them set up perfectly true and then check for any degree of warping then I can get our head turner at work to do that for you if you like. He is very very good and works with drum brakes, driveshafts and axles etc.. on a daily basis so you can be guaranteed he wont stuff them up. Not that you can stuff anything when you are only checking to see if they're warped. Give us a yell if you want anyway mate.

    If you're still talking about F1 Engineering, tell them thanks from me. I bought some clip ons for the ZX636R a few weeks ago when I binned mine and they are brilliant. Obviously they are designed for race more than street so sit in a different position, and some adjustments needed to be made to the bike - but then they were sold by them and purchased by me on the basis of exactly that. So my expectations were fully met. And what's more - they turned up on time (i.e. the next day!) which is always a good thing!!
