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?

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

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

[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

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

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
