There's a simple litmus test for the world of aftermarket parts: As long as there's still a market for coloured bolts, there is proof that there are motorcyclists with marginally less taste than a bowl of unsalted porridge. Ergo, wavy discs.

When I bought my 7R, years ago, the seller repeatedly pointed out great modifications like bright red braided hoses and the wavy rear disc.

"But what does it do?" I asked him.
"It's a wavy disc!"
"Yes, but what does it do?"
"It's... it's a wavy disc!"
