Title: All years front rotors interchangeable?
Post by: Tfrank59 on August 29, 2019, 03:40:22 PM
 There are probably some posts about this but you gurus in the know can you tell me if I use a front rotor off of a 2000 Interstate would it fit on my 1998 tourer?  I'm thinking all those years  front rotors are interchangeable but I wanna check especially cause it's coming off of an interstate.

I don't know, but that is what I recall. GW or Valk, the same.

I went on procaliber. The 99' CF and the 98 C are the same.

As a FYI, the GW GL1500 rear rotors are the same for the Valk.

Yeah I know the rear rotors are different but I'm asking about the fronts which I was pretty sure were the same all the years

other honda front rotors that fit. I use a set of VFR800 ebay $100 were within new spec range per VFR800 service manual.  I like the carrier look very much.

Front OEM valkyrie rotors = 3.25 lbs ea

Both are the same and fit the valkyrie.
Front VRF800 rotors = 2.75 lbs ea
Front CBR600F4 rotors = 2.75 lbs ea

What is the new thickness of the CBR and VFR rotors?

The reason I as is that the Valk Minimum Thickness is 4mm.  This is important because the Valkyrie is FAR heavier than either of those 2 bikes.  The extra metal on the VALK rotors allows for More heat to be absorbed.
The Calipers and pads are also designed for a thicker rotor.

EBC lists same rotor for all, doesn't see a problem. I am seeing better braking with the OEM VFR800 rotors than from the OEM Valkyrie. Holding heat gives less braking performance. cooler brakes the better during operation.
