i know you said you use ebc brakes, do you have EBC rotors also?
if so which rotor and which pads?

do they rust?
thanks.




R J

Yes & yes.

I bought the disc from across the pond before they had a US of A outlet.

I'll have to look see on the box in the garage.     Ain't goin out there now as it is 4 BELOW and a fair wind....    My thermo on the decl says -4, this weatherbug or whatever it is is about 5 miles from me with a box around it and almost laying on the ground, with a lid on it.    Now, how accurate is that?

Rusting where?    I have these stainless ones.    Mom went out and looked but did not write down the part #.     I bitched and she ain't too happy with me right now.      So hang loose, when I sweet talk her into it I'll get the part #.

I went to the website looking & found these, I think that is the ones that I have.

Will try to get it done before the weekend.   I have to send my Trike headers back and they are laying in a box not too far from the rotor boxes, I THINK...

Wife couldn't find the box, but she did take a picture of the rotor.

Hey,sugarbear>>>>>>>those disc will rust when you are not riding and it sits up for a while ,but as soon as you apply the brakes a time or two it will clean itself off.

sugerbear

Here is the rotor, only I have the silver center.

By the way, it is not to wise to only change out 1 rotor on the front, you need to change both.....

We may be sheet out of luck on that part #.

My youngest son said he kind of remembers mom telling him to toss that box.

That would be the one with the old rotors.

However, as soon as it warms up a little bit, I have one more place to look.

Knowing her and having to work around and over the box for several years, I could see that being her response.....    She isn't a pack rat like I am....   I have so much junk in the back garage, I don't even know what is there, till I come across it and ask myself, who the 4377 was looking for this or that.      :uglystupid2:

I still have 14 boxes clothes, house utensils, coats and a big ole console TV, that still works, we pulled out of my mom's apartment when she passed away in June 1992.

Should just give it all to DAV, Goodwill, or some Charity if they come get it, load it and keep their damn big truck off my motorcycle thin cement driveway.   This driveway was designed, built and poured only thick enough for motorcycle traffic.
