Brake Discs - New Addition to Rick Oliver Catalogue

[RickOliver]

I`ve been looking around for a while to find a decent quality `budget` range of brake discs to add to my catalogue.

After lengthy discussions with various manufacturers and final receipt of samples a few days ago I`m going to be stocking & supplying these `Arashi` brand discs in addition to OE Honda and EBC models from now on.

They are made in China (don`t knock it, probably so are 60% of all the consumer goods that you own!) but by a company who seem to interested in producing parts up to a decent quality standard rather than down to the minimum price.

The centres are machined rather than pressed, the anodising is a nice subtle pale gold, not cheap & `brassy`, the build quality is very nice and they are a good match for the OE Honda RVF/VFR disc.

Price will be £150 a pair, which is half the going rate for a pair of OE discs and £100 cheaper than a pair of EBCs.

I will also have a black-centred `wavy` version available shortly as well as rears to match both.

Will you be able to get these in an NC24 fitment?

I will be dropping you a line in the new year Rick, these are just what I am after.

i have run some a wavey version of these Arashi discs on my fireblade now for over 2 years through all weathers and i cant fault them.



the picture is from when they were new, there is the smallest amount of tarnishing in a couple of areas but as mentioned i use the blade all year round in all conditions. now rick is offering them i will buy a set for the vfr when i need them.

Thanks, guys -

I really think that you`ll be impressed with the quality of these for the price, they are definitely a large cut above some of the nasty tat that I encountered on my search!

As far as I can see there isn`t a fitment available for the NC24 but I will double check that with the producer.

The `wavys` that I`ll be stocking will be the same pattern as those ones on the `blade

Nice find!

Update -

I now have the first batch of these discs in stock, round and wavy - I went for gold centred wavies in the end `cos I think that they look better.



Poor picture (should have done it earlier when I had daylight instead of flash) but you get the idea...
