    Brake discs.

    I've warped a front disk.

    OEM Kawasaki disks are a fortune.

    Any suggestions? I've tried F1 Engineering but they don't answer the phone or return calls.

    EBC Contour disks look the go, but the UK operation won't ship to NZ and forward me to their Australian distributor who cranks the conversion price to 5 times the UK figures.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    GAH! it's doin me head in.. there's an aftermarket place in Waihi (?) I think, that puts new discs on your old hubs. PlacidFemme should be able to remember. Have a look on Trademe for member: gee10 and ask about some in one of his auctions

    How much is a fortune? I'd surprised if you'd get a good NZ made disc, considering you're warped that one. I'm still waiting to here something good about the Waihi discs, except the price

    I bought a pair of front EBC Pro-Lite rotors + HH pads from a place in the US about 3 years ago. No problem with shipping, cost was about NZ$800 landed.

    I'm trying to find a record of who it was I bought from.

    Site's under construction nadroj, and the Italian parent site has an English language option that doesn't work.

    That's the one. Trace routes time out and ping returns are very spotty.

    I'll talk to Crown Enterprises, but I don't like my chances. There's no Z750 listing on the Italian site.
