And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

U lil beauty RifferOriginally Posted by riffer
I got a quote from a Energy Honda from the ever so helpful Aaron, $716 for a pair of fronts incl the pads & $180 for the rear also incl pads.
Sound alright? Brand new of course.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Wellington Motorcycles quoted me $440 each for the fronts and $290 the rear - including pads...

Nice one guvna, ok I sussed out the prices & converted to NZ $$. Looks like for 2 fronts & a rear will cost $615 + post + pads of course.
Ive been quoted here in New Plymouth $896, no post & it includes pads all round.
Mmmmm. Not a huge dif me thinks
ps: I copy pasted this from my thread.
For your original question the fronts are $170US each which = $445NZ the pair + post + pads.
I only searched RF900 parts as I couldn't be assed to see if there was a dif between some of the other models sharing the same disks
*cough*
Yes im drunk right now

Well to be honest you never really know until you ask. Shipping may be cheaper than getting from the States but what's the difference in the initial price?
Also, what construction methods are employed? Are they cheap stamped out rotors, or laser cut from high carbon steel? Remember you get what you pay for...
Mine had brand new replacements when I got mine. Premier brand SS06. High Carbon steel laser cut. 35,000 kms later they still work okay with minimal wear - I'll probably get another 35,000 kms out of them I reckon unless something tragic happens. Look at my portfolio pic to see what they look like.
I don't believe the NZ ones available on trademe are laser cut (maybe machined) and I don't believe I've heard anyone rave about them. However I don't think I've heard anyone bag them AFTER using them - plenty have bagged them without touching them though.
I would seriously suggest that you talk to Whites about these rotors and find out about construction techniques, what sort of steel in them etc before committing your hard-earned.

I got the disks for the GSXR from Victorian Motorcycle Wreckers in Ausie. From memory they were about $200.00 landed. One was 4.4 the other 4.35
One, two free, floor!
I can provide/arrange free shipping from the States if one is willing to wait till october...
$2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
