A4: Change front discs?

#1 PostAuthor: pablo » Tue Jun 26, 2018 12:19 pm

The only part of my front brake setup I haven't changed is the rotors. I'm using Harrison Billet callipers, which are great, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a Harrison disc that will go on in place of the standard?

Or any other recommendations, obviously.

Cheers!

If you are on 296mm discs EBC has floating replacements which are far better than the stock rotors

https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/motorcycle/ ... 1977/37404 (click on the discs tab)

You will get them at a decent price if you shop around although probably have to order them

I run floating discs and uprated calipers on mine and it stops very well :)
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

Thanks mate! Looks like an excellent option. I've asked Harrison if they do a disc - let's see.

I’m pretty sure Harrison don’t make a Zed floater - EBC made some custom offset discs for me a few years ago and they were very good to deal with.

Harrison do not make discs, they only make brake calipers.

EBC discs are good.
