I have wanted a set of these for 7years now. After many years of waiting I have finally made it happen:mouthwate

OMG these things are light. I can't wait to get them on and go for a ride.

Are they the braketech rotors in carbon?

Going on my pride and joy. I try to always avoid rain.

What happens with these in the rain? Sudden loss of stopping power?

If I am ever in the rain I will let you know.

Just had to post some more pictures. Sad thing is I will not be able to test these until this weekend:bawling:

I see a Bubbalicious poster behind that glare.

 

[Skydvr]

Very nice, it gets better with every mod, probably the nicest F4 in the forum..

Since they are not in production. You have to find someone whom is willing to let them go. I will say it cost $400 to change out the carriers and then another $160 for the new pads.

Thank you Dave. Not sure if that is true.

They do look very pretty, but I thought that Carbon disc's didn't work on the road, as you can't keep enough heat in them (you're not braking hard every 15-20secs, unlike on a track)? I'd be worried they would be very unpredictable in street riding?

I thought that the heat thing was the reason MotoGP/WSBK bikes used steel discs in the rain, rather than a loss of friction when wet?

 

[R1andrew]

Not full carbon like MotoGP. These are the Braketech CMC rotors which do not have to have all the heat in them.

congrats Andrew;

:drummer:

I was about 2 weeks late in getting a set from Jeff

have 3 sets of Axis iron rotors though....but anchors in comparison
:jsm:

 

[Donsy]

They will be fine in the rain if you have the correct pads Andrew, mate over here uses his on his Ducati, rain or shine.

So Sicom are the only new Carbon ones that are available ?

The T-drive carriers aren't as esthetic as the Braketech carriers thou.

As a sidenote Sicom or rather MS Production allso refurbishes CMC discs regardless of brand.
(I wonder if they actually were the OEM manufacturer of the carbon part of Braketech discs in the first place.)

So once Your's wear below limit You can send them over to be plated and resurfaced.
