half the price of ebc $75.00 exchange done by a machine shop that races. email me for the details requires you to send your rotor to him and he will return it to you like this.

who stops with the rear? That gets you introuble on the track most racer leave alot of pedal or add air to the rear brake line the rear brake is to hold your biike still at a light lol

SO true. I also like to do little skids for shits and giggles.

do they get on it and ride? they stop fine they just warp faster when you drag them to settle the rear entering a corner or to hold your line on the exit

Nah they put the brake on and then try pulling the bike along the floor. As long as it will lock the wheel then it should pass.

will surly lock the wheel

That's way trick! That guy has been on the WERA board for a while. I should do that to the F3 (the pig!). Maybe this winter when I get the "bike account" built back up a little.

If your at all wary about it,look at the Galfer Wave rotor made for the GS500E (it fits the B4 too).....similar design,not quite as extreme,but it will easily lock up my sticky back tire.And yea,when do you ever use the rear aggresively?

Brandnew,for sale in about a week along with the freshly powdercoated wheel......

Man thats a nice rotor too..... But you forgot to tell how much

Banditmax · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2007, 09:37:34 AM »

I rarely use my rear brake, as I already locked it up once or twice, kinda freaks me out.

However, I do notice that braking is greatly increased when using the rear brake

If I'm just pulling up to a light or something, and use BOTH brakes, it feels a lot better than just using the front.

But I will ONLY use the front in the twisties, to slow before turns etc....I'll only use the back or both for quick stops.

I'm a n00b....is this right?

I learned in MSF that the front brake supplies 70% of the braking force when used in conjuction with the rear brake in a hard stop on the street. We actually did drills using front only, rear only (that was fun, locking her up like that), but front and rear combined had notably shorter stopping distances.

However, in all the panic-stop exercises we did, the bike was straight up and down. Even MSF teaches get the bike as upright as possible before applying the brakes, especially the rear.

With the bike leaned over pretty far, I will not even touch the rear brake. Even when I raced (back in the day, nearly 20 years ago), I never used the rear brake on the track. Under that kind of duress, unless you're jay or something, the tendency is to apply too much pressure to the rear brake ---> lockup
