Are you willing to stock the Galfer or Braking part instead?Originally Posted by Ed / AF1 Racing
It's not really a great solution for track, but a completely serviceable one for street.

d_adams - that I can believe, a lot going into making them. (1st the right material, then machining, then hardening or stress relieving and last is surface grinding....from what we experience from making rotors and hubs for cranes)
Blueprints would be so handy right now....or even a copy of the process sheet they used. I know i'm asking a lot, but you never know.
maybe after we run out of the OEMs..Are you willing to stock the Galfer or Braking part instead?

Ed, please check your private messages!
we have the hardware too. Search "EBR Rotor" on our store www.af1racing.com and you'll see all the pieces and the rotor.
$276.36 for the mounting hardware? You need 6 sets of those parts to complete the install of the $459 rotor. $736.35 not counting shipping. The complete hardware kit was $79 + shipping from EBR at closure and $49 before that.
Unless I'm reading it wrong and each "part" listed is a complete set of 6? $50 for the hardware is much easier to tolerate.
Do you need mounting hardware with each rotor change?
Per EBR and Buell prior to that, yes. Can you get away with re-using some of it? Yeah, but not all of it. The square bushings are wear items and they get deformed under hard braking. Doosh, where are you? Post up some pics of worn out bits.
The top hat bushings and drive bushings are toast. Don't reuse. The disc spring is usually toast.
The fasteners, typically the copper washer, can be reused. So can the steel washer.
Yikes, How often do you replace the rotor? What are the signs that it needs to be replaced?
