    Well I believe that they are competitively priced and he will stand by their quality.

    ROFL what ya'll been smoking on

    I would not fuck around with brakes, specially on a zx10 of all bikes, buy the proper discs or go for something aftermarket that is PROVEN trialed and tested. Ask some racing guys or something..

    the thing about bike discs is from new to min thickness is fuckall..... I wouldnt mess with this voodoo shit

    heheh, sorry if picking on Holdens hurt your feelings oab I must know something... you've let me drill a lot of holes in suzy :P

    The assumption is just that they're potentially crap, where as the OEM ones can be assumed to be perfect for the job.

    are you doing it to save money or because you are not happy with the way your bike stops

    obviously the factory brakes are tested to a certain level or performance.

    Don't fear guys !!

    I bought it like that and am replacing them both before I get it VIN'd. The last owner used to get WOF's from a bike shop with them like that..... SCARY !!!!

    And apart from a couple of very small quick rides I'm not riding it til the new discs are on.

    I used to do a bit of downhill mountain biking and a mate had some stainless discs cut for his brakes by a local engineer. They worked perfectly until they got to maximum heat in a downhill race and warped. The front one jammed in the caliper and locked the front wheel and shattered the disc. I wouldn't trust a disc that wasn't at least made by a well known aftermarket manufacturer.

    it depends on how the disc is cut aswell.
    that guy at waihi's disc's will be safe - but may wear down faster thats all.
    of course you could get the OEM ones from Japan
