Front Brake rotor
Just wondering if anyone knows a good brand of rotor for the pre-gen. Im on a buget so i cant afford the top of the line. So far the cheapest i could find was the EBC for $179. Thanks

I understand the needing of the new rotor. Mine was warped recently, and I had to replace it. (Kerry, when I replaced it, about 95% of my headshake disappeared. If you're still having that problem, you might check that. I'm not sure if you fixed it or not as I haven't really been paying attention to that thread.) Don't get EBC rotors. They suck. I got a Galfer wave rotor, which I will post a review about this afternoon.

I know a pregen owner who purchased a front rotor off ebay and it proved to be perfect. Just be sure to ask the seller if it's warped or not before you buy it.
If you are on a budget, buying used is the only way to go!  BTW, deep scratches are pretty normal... it's the warping that's the problem. Remember though, there is a minimum thickness service limit. How is it that you're so hard on your brakes? I ride my bike pretty hard in the twisties, but have had no brake related issues. How many miles on your bike? |
