First Gen brake rotors

[Guest Bigin]

Does anyone have a source for new or oem replacement rotors, that don't cost as much as some of these bikes sell for?

 

Tired of the cracked, warped, mostly marginal thickness, and unsafe stuff on Ebay or other sources that sell used rotors. They are inexpensive but most sellers (my experience) overlook the real condition of the part.

 

Any experiences with the EBC Pro lites on these bikes, or input on any other available replacements?

 

The EBC's are low carbon, less friction according to sites that review them. They are also lower friction , which might be worth looking into for you RSV riders with touchy rear brakes, just a thought.

 

Fronts are good for now, but the rear I think got bent, maybe when a tire was mounted somewhere along the way. I will be removing my rotors from now on before dropping wheels and tires off for mounting.

 

Would be interested to hear how others are managing this issue with these older bikes.

 

Thanks

Certain year Vmax front rotors will fit 86-93 Ventures, but a Vmax rear rotor will not fit.

EBC or OEM factory are probably your only choices.
