I have one standard disc also. I think it's the good one after I warped the other in a track day crash. It looks like it's the true one but I can't be 100% certain until it was fitted to a wheel. Maybe you could make a pair with the one offered above? It had done about 5,000mls.

You can have it for nothing, just pay for postage.

Cheers Bic - will await a response from Mr K - pair of EBCs comimg tomorrow in the meantime.

[MrK]

Sorry for late reply.
Is not advertised anywhere, I have it in my garage somewhere. As I remember it is from SD 2007. I shot some photos tomorrow evening (I'm away, so can't do that any earlier).

[bic_bicknell]

Mine is an '07 as well.

If you want it PM your address and I'll pack it up.

Thanks guys but the EBCs have arrived so I'll pass on the benefit of your offer/largesse this time - been told that the EBCs won't last long so may be I'll be back to you sooner rather than later.

[WhiteSoul]

I need 2 also...

MrK, bic you still have yours ?
Mine are both veiled... On has more than 1mm...

[MrK]

Yes, if 47 don't want it.
I PM you when I back home tonight.

[No. 47]

Yep, I'm now out, so to speak - EBCs would have been fitted by now if the last clamp bolt hadn't rounded off as I tried to remove it..........

.......................and the parts fiche only throws up the SD silver, and not the SDR black, finish - anyone have a spare lying around?

[No. 47]

9 months later and again need to be replaced.............pair before were s/h SD discs, so not surprised that they didn't last long, but the current pair were new EBC discs, half the price of the OE items and now I know why, both warped by 3-4mm.

So, before I order up a new OE SDR pair (£560!!!!!!), anyone have a pair available?

Are you racing your SD?

I had a one-day-and-it-was-done EBC rotor experience. Turned out for that particular application, the problem was chronic (I wasn't the only one who experienced the same). It was bad enough to where EBC started providing alternative buttons with subsequent shipments of those rotors ... EBC replaced that rotor, with all kinds of noise about it not being track/race suitable, blah, blah, blah ... The replacement they sent (with the updated buttons), remains in its box to this day.

It's been a few years, but the last set of EBC HH pads I had were such shit, that I ditched 'em for some Galfers after about 2 weeks use ... They felt all grabby initially, and then that was it. May your favorite deity help you if you get those EBCs really warmed up, and you needto stop quickly from speed ...

You ever try CL Brakes (formerly Carbone Lorraine) http://www.cl-brakes.com/en/products/bikes/range/ ? For street use, I like the SBK line. Suitable for the occasional track day too, but I wouldn't race with them, or use them for a high power track-only bike on a longer/fast circuit. Their "C" series are good for that.

Brembo pads and rotors: Of late, I am running the Z04 compound (http://www.brembo.com/en/bike/Racing/Ra ... /Pads.aspx) with the T-Drive rotors (320 mm, http://www.brembo.com/en/bike/Racing/Ra ... Discs.aspx), on another application (I4 litre, track only). Spendy (stupidly so), and not street hardware. But damn if the stuff doesn't work. I mean, like insanely well. Since the T-Drives are full-flaoters, they really aren't good street hardware in that the rattling/noise will drive most people bonkers, and those pads - well, they really are over the top for street use. Brembo claims they are the same compound as used in WSBK/WSS ... quick warming, very consistent performance, and enough braking capability ("power") to put anyone on their head from speed - you'll run out of traction on any tyre before these brakes give up.

Just road, not racing or even regular track days now - too old, don't bounce well and take far too long to recover.

First pair of OE discs were raced and lasted well after, and second pair also OE and lasted even longer - only had problems/short life since switching to EBC discs so now going back to OE.

Have used EBC HH pads for a long time now - always been happy with performance and longevity but aware that they're perceived as being hard on discs. Redline have recommended these http://www.dp-brakes.com/Shop/p-2-SDP-SPORT-HH.html so going with these for the moment.

Has anyone used those Ebay wave rotors from China? Just for road use, can they be that bad?

[Shiroyu]
