Glad to hear you're happy with it. The cooling cuts within the disc area looks too big for my tastes. Big and easy enought for the occasional pebble or gravel to get into and cut up the brake pads. Though they are also big enough to let the same drop out easier. Wonder how efficient compared to others these are/will be. Warpage under heavy use may also be a bit of a concern. As for looks, they are pretty kewl. I just make my approach from the practical side rather than the bling side first.

This style of disc has been used on dirt bikes for years and they have proven to be fine with gravel. In fact the idea is that they clear better than round disks so the problem is lessened.

 I own a 1997.so I must mount another front wheel (1999 and further) But I managed to buy almost brandnew original discs for the front. For a set: $220,--  The flame discs cost for the front $300,-- a piece. So it is a question of money also. The difference between $220,-- or 2 x $300,-- + a new front wheel is too big for me.. Better to invest that money for new tyres.. | |
