Honda VTR help - anyone owned one?
 

Writing this on behalf of a friend, who recently had a coming together with a car.
He only sustained a broken thumb, but there was a bit of damage to the bike.
What he really needs at the mo is a substitute front brake disc, as brand new VTR specific ones are too costly for his limited budget.

He recently bought a CBR600F front disc on advice, but it doesnt fit...

Anyone able to help?

Is £200 too much for him?

Has anyone else used blackshadow? Sorry Dyzio, my mate found the majority of reviews being negative.

Bibio has them, and I'll be buying some soon.

Pretty sure Bibio rated them as being perfectly ok

Combatfred has them on the Busa, and I've fitted them to the Falco this year. Still fine after 8k or so.

Got some on my GSX14. One disc gubbed. "Buttons" need constant attention.

Getting binned for EBC/Braking/Galfer (£540 for OE!)

Get what you pay for.

blackshadow. 6000+ miles and so far so good. would say cast discs are better but for the money they do the job. this is on an SV with a gsxr front so its only ever a dab on the brakes to scrub speed or lightly for coming to a stop.
