I need some new front discs. I was going to get OEM, but why not bling it up and get some wavy discs
![]() I have no idea what makes are good or bad. Can anyone recommend a make? |

I'd recommend going for a well known brand such as EBC or Armstrong etc etc. I'm sure I've heard horror stories about cheap blingy discs.

I went for Galfers on my double R and I had no problems with them. Just a bit more than the OEM discs to replace.

I've got Braking ones on my SV and on my XR650 and I like them. Strangely I put a pair on my GSXR track bike and started going through a set of pads a day, I kid you not! I appreciate I was using Ferodo racing pads in Brembo calipers on the GSXR where I use EBC on the SV so it might just be a case of making sure you match pad to disc.

I bought mine as set (front & rear) from Bandit & SV Mania.

If you are on a tight budget then these will take some beating!
http://www.stealthproducts.co.uk/discs.html Personally I'm not a "bling" person and went for boring plain round ones from Stealth and I'm very pleased with them. I've only done 1k or so miles on them so far, but this did include an Oulton Park track day. The only down side is they are made to order and you will have to wait a few weeks for them to arrive. Worth the wait I thought. |

If you go with EBC disks go with the pads to match.
