good thats what i wanted to hear to be honest,i need a set of discs for my track bike and was thinking of putting these on
( tygas) but i'm unsure wether or not they could stick the abuse of the track...

i have a couple of choices
ebc discs http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/bike/par ... 29&sec=Jap
tyga discs http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-NC30-NC35-N ... dZViewItem
o.e. honda discs second hand maybe ??
hong kong discs http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=011

i don't mind paying good money for them cos lets face it they are one of, if not ,thee most important thing on the bike but i don't see a point paying £200+ when £150 does the same job...

but is it a case of you get what you pay for ???

i'd like to hear peoples opinions to be honest

Stealth wavy ones are pretty good!

I have a set for sale at the minute if you are interested ;)

Only selling them cos I've fitted a USD front end from a Ducati.

On the Stealth brakes they are not tat mate - I have had mine for nearly a year and they are straight and solid enough.

Have done numerous trackdays on them and the 'ring ;)

Well worth it IMO. If you need some honda discs I might have some you can blag off me. I also have some honda centres if you want to get a rebuild on them??

no worries man. I will stick them on a wheel to test them as I have 2 sets spare and lying about in the garage. I have my original discs that were straight and another pair I got from Geoff that I have never fitted - although he assured me they were straight.

I will send them over and them when they work OK or not, we can talk prices - but would not want a lot for them as they're only discs and mates rates is cheap eh?

I've just got some ebc prolites, so far they have done around 1000 miles and so far so good. I was considering the tyga's but i'd never heard anything about them so decided to stick to the ebc's.
