Hello folks
Needing new discs for the front of the VTR, anyone know of any good deals / best place to go for them ? Honda were looking for 230 for the pair I think. Is that the goin rate ?
Any not hugely expensive wavy discs about .. ?
I do remember seeing a picture of a VTR front end with custom discs on, they had "VTR" cut through the disc all the way round, looked real trick ... anybody else seen that ?
Cheers
Geordie

Re: discs ...
just fitted ebc-x discs too mine, expensive at 258 but performance has improved noticeably. there are cheaper from ebc.
1998 Firestorm, 47,000 miles, forks valved & sprung, proflex shock +4mm over standard, manual ccts', k&n, 50#slow 185#/190# mains, front carb slide mod, R6 throttle tube, Tank raised, Viper cans, Coerce fork brace, EBC lite front discs & pads.
Re: discs ...
E-Blag have wavy ones at reasonable prices, but you have to order form Hong Kong or China.
I've been burnt before, and won't take a chance any more.
(not discs, electronics)
I seem to recall someone buying some a while ago- Ernie??? search for previous posts.
Otherwise, if you're staying with standard ones, David Silver, as ever, but why not just replace with second-hand ones?
Dirt cheap, as everyone sells the old ones on once they get wavies.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: discs ...
I replaced my OEM warped ones with a pair of EBCs with sintered pads. Coupled with the braided hoses and the brakes are as good as I'd want them to be.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

Had a look at there stuff at the bike show last year and it looked really good quality. Sure someone on here is running a set of them but cannot remember who. Good value to £295 for three discs and pads. Might be worth a call.

Yeah I saw them at the bike show Steve, They do look nice, I asked one of the blokes on the stand about the black stuff on the disc and its only a coating and wears off !!!
