My 320 Stainless braketechs on my 03

The Strength of the brake setup is amazing. I have a stock 04 Radial master as well. I find myself using just my middle finger to brake - which is something I never did until I get this setup. I usually use the pointer and middle but it's strong enough to just use one finger - and the middle finger is the more comfy one to use for me.

 

It's amazing how many people are bike brake parts dumb. When people look at my rotors they're always like "wow! how much were those!" and then I tell them and they're usually like "wow that's a lot of money - that's how much my chrome cost on my wheels" - then I shake the rotors and go "yea and they're broken"

:lol Or if you ride over cobblestone or brick - they're noisy as all hell.

 

I like the Ductile from Brake tech even though they are larger than stock they weigh a few grams less. They perform very well. My only complaint is that living in an island environment they tend to get rusty if i don't ride it often enough and this needs to be cleaned off before riding or it will make them sort of pulsate due to the contamination from rust getting on the pads. So If it sits for a few weeks between rides I need to wipe them down or hit them with a little 400 grit sand paper first. The feal is much better than stainless but for me in Hawaii It's a bit of a hassle. I will be switching to ceramic soon and putting the Iron rotors up for sale. I thought EBC made over sized rotors as well and were pretty reasonable for stainless.

 

the cryogenically treated ductile iron is the way to go as the brake co-efficient or whatever they call friction is greater than stainless.

 

ever considered AP Racing?


details-
AP Racing's newly developed range of stainless steel disc (CP3109) replaces the old CP3106 disc range. The new disc offers the user greater braking consistency over a wider range of performance conditions. CP3109 range are 318mm, cross drilled and with a braking face swept depth of 27mm. Developed for racing, ideally suited for performance road applications.

 

or PFM?

details-
If you require the ultimate in performance, with no compromise, we can offer a conversion kit for most sports bikes produced from 1993 which use our own billet aluminium six piston calipers that bolt directly to the existing mounts (including radial mounts). The discs supplied with these kits are our unique patented design and comprise of only 3 parts, the rotor, the centre and a retaining clip. All discs are 320mm diameter and have a narrow pad track to reduce gyroscopic forces and un-sprung weight. These kits give stunning controllable brake performance for the rider who must have the best. Supplied complete with pads and hoses. These kits can be used with the standard master cylinder or our 20mm radial master cylinder.

rorlow, the PFM's look and sound like they would perform great, I actually just saw two sets sell on ebay and was going to jump on them, I just found out from firehawk2003 that if I remove the stock rotor carriers off of my PVM's rims I can fit a any 320mm rotor that is made for Ducati with a 10mm off-set / 6 bolt patterns, and this goes for many aftermarket rims like marchesini, marvic, (except Carrozzeria which would be a 15mm offset)

ChuckH swears by them, its all he uses on his track bikes. Mated to a good master its supposed to be a great setup, even non-radial, the 6 pots are supposed to be excellant as well :yesnod

below are PFM setup's on Chucks track bikes :bow

 

Chucks other track bike :bow

 

Certainly do swear by them Ron !!! Ive used APs Brembos Nissins ect over many years PFM is as good if not better than all the very best top brands !!!

Havent been around lately hope all You guys are OK ????
