Latest acquisition

Post by mik_str »

Image

Just picked this up.... it`s a racing rear rotor used on some British Super Sport Triumph 675s (interchangeable with Honda rotor). Weighed it last night, 384g (0.95 lb lighter than stock). It`s only 3mm thick, however (and that is the original thickness as I measured both the wear area and the mounting area).

There is another for sale on UK eBay site if anyone is interested:

I looked at it and I was tempted as I like the look of it..... but have decided to go with my other idea.
Why ask... sometime you just go to do it and find out?

I was tempted as it weighs nothing! But my spending on the storm has now ceased, apart from a clear screen & titax levers :)
