Had to get standards. Everything else, bar the hong kong ones, was ridiculously expensive :(

Had to buy these ones from a breakers, they assure me that they aren't warped. This is in the description :
Both discs are strait with the right only having 0.03mm runout and the left having only 0.06mm runout.
Both still have ~4.5mm thickness ( -0.03 on the right, +0.03 on the left ) and at the end of the day even if they aren't very good they'll last until I can afford wavy's again :lol: Plenty of miles left in them.

Sounds good and sort that lever out before you fit the discs

Can get a refund if they're sh1t anyway :D :thumbup:

Yeah, I was gonna take a look at it when I got back but I genuinely just couldn't be bothered. I was too busy mac fluid over the debaffled standards :lol:

I'll take a look at it during the week, new brake discs are estimated to arrive tuesday/wednesday and pads by the weekend so that's next week sorted :thumbup: I have a week to file the lever down.

Okay :thumbup: I'll try and remember the lines this time too :p and brake fluid.. and... I'm just gonna write a list and stick it to my door :p

Hopefully that means I'll have a chance to see what power difference I have now, properly. I didn't really have a chance to push the bike on the way home, didn't get past 80mph as I couldn't be arsed with dual carriageways. :lol:

Yeah, borrow Lloydie's. I'm actually tempted to keep these and not use the Renegades, or take mine back or debaffle or whatever. My friend came round to see the new exhausts and we had a bit of fun pissing the neighbours off ( I don't help myself sometimes, I know ). They're quiet until you hit the 4-5k mark and then they get monstrous. I think that's decent really, because I don't normally go above 2k while I'm at the flat :lol:

Same here, good sound, standard looks but weigh a ton :(

I am pretty sure I have a set of std unmolested cans in my shed too.
