Replacement Brake Rotors

Post by crazzy450z »



I have a rear wheel that needs a new brake rotor for my swap into my 1100..
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the following rotors??

The pricing is more then fair, and way cheaper then EBC..
I'm using full stinted pads front and rear..

Check the thickness of the rotor. Gl1500 min spec is 5 mil.

Actually I asked if anyone had used their disks yet.

I know how to check the rotors.
For the 1500, fronts are 6mm new, min thickness 5 mm and the rears are 7.5mm new, min thickness 6mm.

88-89 are 296mm dia
90 on are 316mm Dia.

I did not mean to come across snarky.. It's all good. I've had to do a deep dive into GL1500 and ST1100 rotors for the project I'm working on..
