Always go for a good proven make with brake discs. ive lost count of the times when mates have brought cheap fancy looking discs and had nothing but problems, warping seems to be biggest problem. the cast iron discs on my duc have been on for over 10 years and still work 100%. Id go for the EBC's if i were you or good standard discs are just as good

standard all the way. have a mate that has warped a few sets of EBCs, and heard of a few others out there doing the same.

i'd go for the standard originals too. you can usually pick up a decent 2nd hand set for cheap too

pfm ductile iron - you pay a bit more but you would need to crash the bike to warp them.

and they will stop you on a 10 pence coin

not to go against all of the experience of everyone else on here but i bought a pair of these for a 929 blade in just last year. used them all through the winter etc and have had no issues what so ever.

Very small amount of surface rust in a minimal number of places but as mentioned used all year though with salt and crap on the roads.

can upload photo if needed.
