Chinese wavey discs... Thoughts?

Post by Marsbar »

Been looking at these as my discs are fooked and i am currently jobless so don't really have an excess amount of cash.

I know people are like eww Chinese don't go near them ect ect. Mate at college bought a set for his NC23 and they look really good quality, got a wavey disc on mine for past 1,500 miles and looks great still.

Theres an engineer on the bay who does rears for rgv250 which fits cheep see-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-RGV-25 ... 3cc61bbc59.

I asked if he could replicate the fronts for the gk76a and maybe sort a group discount for the gsxr section but he didnt get back to me .. :down: fuck him his loss ;) but the thought was there to save us a few quid..

I can see straight away why that rear disc would fit, i had to file away part of the wheel hub to get mine to fit. wish i knew about that sooner lol

ive got these on my nc23, they were on the bike when i bought it 3 years ago and were on the bike for a year before i bought it, so 4 years and not had to replace them no lip at all still can believe how long they have lasted. still got plenty of life in them

If you don't ride like a cunt, they'll be good enough for the job.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
