Front disc brake compatiblity?

[klyong82]

Only place to get cheap disc would be Ebay US. I recently paid US31 for a set of second-hand Fireblade discs plus US40 postage. Second-hand disc from NZ wreckers are not cheap cost anywhere from $200. I was quoted $300 for a second hand VTR1000 disc.

Victorian Motorcycle Wreckers were selling AUS$200 per VTR1000 disc. I suppose wreckers know these are hot items so they put a high mark-up.

Buying brand new gives you a piece of mind plus if you take care of it would last probably 30,000 to 40,000km. Second hands? cheaper but probably give you half the distance provided it is straight.

That's the first thing I did. Kiwifruit warned me off those FGB Discs, so I scratched them off my list immediately.

Thanks for the last link though, have put in a question on the auction. However, I wonder if the discs on that bike are compatible with what I've got on mine now, since its an 87 CBR400.

Try Keith at vic wreckers:

email is best, vicwreck@iinet.net.au

Email sent (yesterday).

Looking at eBay now. Fingers crossed.

Anyone know what the minimum disc thickness is in NZ? I might have found a pair but they are only 3.95mm thick.

The rotors should have a minimum thickness. Not neccesarily the bike.
The Triumphs rotors min thickness was 3.5mm.

You wont have any trouble with vinning etc with new EBC rotors.

I bought the same rotors and pads as bungbung and they stop just great.

Okay where can I get a set of these? Along with matched sintered pads? The StarCycle website is quite possibly the worst e-commerce site ever. I can't find EBC Pro-Lite for my bike on there.

Yeah, it sucks donkey balls and dont bother emailing them, hah. They're so busy that email is the last thing they answer.

Use the EBC catalogue to get the part numbers and give them a call. Thats what I did.

[Mental Trousers]

Bought some EBC wavy ones. Like them.
If you have trouble finding what you need pm me and I'll price them up for you when I'm at work.

This is true, they're a catalogued item designed for the model, not a problem at all
