Some one had put cheep disks on my R1 & they warpped but that doesn't mean they're all crap , my Mrs got me a bloody good deal on a full set of galfers

I was quoted 400 odd for galfers ....for the front alone

These doing well , I oped for a road compound pad rather than full sintered or race jobbies so maybe they standing up to the heat better

There "kagazumi" I think , I'm positive there a firm based in uk buying them in bulk and selling them as track tested wavy discs for about £40 over the rrp

Only here till I go radial and 320mm setup

Think I paid about £290 for front disks & pads & £90 for rear & pads , like you say if your going to be changing to 320mm there's no point in spending loads , reason I got galfer was because I got an advisory for my rear disk & the fronts juddered like a fucker , mate who's a good mechanic & bike recovery driver said get galfers &Mrs was in the bike trade & said if you must have waveys go for galfers & then got me £200 of the price , would have been rude not too

I had a set of Kagazumi disks for my TDM a few years ago, seemed alright to me, no different from the originals that they replaced, had them on for about a year used in all weathers.
I paid I think £180 for 2 fronts and a rear , not wavys though.
Dont think they are chinese either.

Nice bike Beefy, my old 5pw had the ais removed, exup removed and velocity stacks, she made 143rwhp on HMD Tunings dyno and was smoother than a smooth thing running a shorty scorpion can an aw , here is a pic, loved that bike, main difference was done by the velocity stacks, gave an extra 7bhp right through from 3k too 8k revs so beefed up the mid range a lot, top mod that

Donny did you replace the headers ?

How did you delete the exup ?

Also did you use the blanking plugs ect ??

Nope standard headers with the exup removed,leave the motor in place and you wont get an error code or you can get an exup eliminator just make up a blanking plate were the exup was, use the old cover as a template, its a piece off cake for an engineering firm or make it yourself, I used Graves blanking plates too get rid off the ais system,
